I've made 3 partitions under linux, ext2, all works fine. in dmesg I've got no error : da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers da0: 238475MB (488397168 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 30401C) and in /dev I've got da0 da0s1 da0s2 da0s3. but let's see that : # mount_ext2fs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/clean # ls -a . .. clean # cd clean # ls -a # mkdir qsd mkdir: qsd: File exists # cd qsd/wxc # ls -a # echo "aze">aze && cat aze aze # vim aze ##note that here i can see the word aze # cat aze # btw, I also wasn't able to create slice/label under freebsd (that's why I've ext2ed it) I don't remember the errors but somethings like read/write to block 0 failed was common. an other thing is fsck : #fsck.ext2 /dev/da0s1 e2fsck 1.40.2 (12-Jul-2007) fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/da0s1 Could this be a zero-length partition? whereas under linux it just says something like partition is clean. As you can imagine, I've got absolutely no idea what I should search for. thanks a lot, Matthieu.
