Hi, everybody,
2 years ago when using 2.1.5-R I was failed mounting EDOS.
I gave up then. But now I need it again strickty:(
As said in FAQ:
The secondary DOS partitions are found after ALL the primary partitions.
For example, if you have an "E" partition as the second DOS partition on
the second SCSI drive, you need to create the special files for "slice
5" in /dev, then
mount /dev/sd1s5:
# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV sd1s5
# mount -t msdos /dev/sd1s5 /dos/e
In my case it's "D" on wd0 e.g. /dev/wd0s4 'cos
there are Primary DOS part at /dev/wd0s1 (mounted w/o prob),
FreeBSD at /dev/wd0s3 (btw Fdisk partition editor sais that
EDOS resides at /dev/wd0s2?).
Anyway mounting it either wd0s4 or wd0s2 sais:
volodya# mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s4 /mnt
mountmsdosfs(): bad signature
msdos: /dev/wd0s4: Invalid argument
volodya# Apr 28 11:24:36 volodya /kernel: mountmsdosfs(): bad
signature
Apr 28 11:24:36 volodya /kernel: mountmsdosfs(): bad signature
volodya# mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s2 /mnt
mountmsdosfs(): bad bpb
msdos: /dev/wd0s2: Invalid argument
volodya# Apr 28 11:24:50 volodya /kernel: mountmsdosfs(): bad bpb
Apr 28 11:24:50 volodya /kernel: mountmsdosfs(): bad bpb
volodya#
What I do wrong?
