In message <20010716182256.Q345-100000@localhost.de>, "P. U. (Uli) Kruppa" writ es: >> #mount_msdos /dev/ad0s1 /mnt >> mount_msdos:vfsload(msdos):File exists >Try ># df -h >to find out if anything else is mounted on /mnt . The error is from "vfsload(msdos)", not from the mount system call, so that is unlikely. In fact, mount_msdos should actually allow you to mount one filesystem directly over another, but if you tried to mount two filesystems from the same device you should get a "Device busy" error. The vfsload() call is used to load a kernel module in order to support a particular filesystem. Here it seems that mount_msdos believes that there is no support for the msdos filesystem in the kernel, but when it tries to load the module it appears to be already loaded (hence the "File exists"). I've no idea why that would happen though... What version of FreeBSD are you running? What is the output from the "kldstat" program? Were your kernel modules compiled at the same time as the kernel?
