I am a relatively new FreeBSD user and I have never posted a request for help before so I hope I am doing this right and not plugging up the board with irrelevant and out of context questions. My apologies if I am. Here is my problem: I have vinum installed on my FreeBSD 5.1-Release box. Vinum starts and runs fine, but I can't fsck any of the volumes because it says... "fsck: Could not determine filesystem type." If I do a fsck -T ufs /dev/vinum/??? it will work fine, but it's when I don't explicity tell fsck what the filesystem type is that I get this error. Everything relating to vinum seems to work fine and the configuration is identical to the one I made at work (that works) except that the server at work is a 5.0 box. This wouldn't be a big deal, but when the server recycles fsck "Could not determine filesystem type" and dumps me into single user mode so I can fsck my volumes. This is a problem!! I wonder if I could tell fsck to use "-T ufs" in the rc.conf file, but I feel like I am just sidestepping the issue. FSCK should be able to detemine the filesystem type without help as far as I know, but I'm not sure what the problem could be. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ************************************************************************ This e-mail is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information which is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
