The disk has RedHat Linux installed on it. So I popped it into my FBSD 4.3-STABLE box, mounted 3 of the slices (da1s1 through s3), went to mount da1s4 and I got back. ext2fs: #da/0x5000a: wrong magic number 0x1e64 (expected 0xef53) Of course this is the mount point that the databases I need are sitting on (go figure). I launched /stand/sysinstall and went into fdisk just so I could have a look at the slices, and it was then that I noticed that the da1s4 slice I was trying to mount was of type extended and not of ext2fs (well, at least according to fdisk) So I have tried to mount this thing with every option in the damn book, but to no avail.... Was wondering if there is anyone that has mounted a LINUX type extended rather than ext2fs partition, and if they can give me a hint to solving this (short of putting the disk back into its old machine and booting it) Cheers, _________________________________ Elliott Perrin Senior Systems / Security Administrator Biographix Corporation Big Orbit New Media Studios eperrin@bigorbit.com 416-516-0705 ext 225 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
