Greetings, Mr. Johns:
I just wanted to thank you for your response to the query in
FreeBSD-Questions about mounting extended DOS partitions.
My problem was with mounting Linux files. I was unable to get
mount_ext2fs
or
mount -t ext2fs
to work, and was spinning my wheels a bit. But you prompted me to go back to
the mail archives, and I found my solution (this time) immediately: I hadn't
added
options "EXT2FS"
to my kernel configuration file. I did so, recompiled, and mount_ext2fs
worked perfectly, immediately. I think I learned several things that I knew
already--but didn't KNOW, if you see my meaning--in the process.
Thanks for your indirect but most apropos assistance.
Chris Booth
