I'm sorry if you think I am totally stupid beyond human comprehension, but I don't think I'm quite that bad, maybe not too far from it though, heh heh, :) > If it doesn't work show me the output of the 'mount' command like this: > 'mount' > Make sure you are root. $ su Password: chip# mount /dev/wd1s1a on / (local, writes: sync 114 async 2198) /dev/wd1s1e on /usr (local, writes: sync 4175 async 17298) /dev/wd0s1 on /usr/windows (local, writes: sync 0 async 12) procfs on /proc (local) chip# And here are the results of disklabel wd3s1 (as per your instructions) chip# disklabel wd3s1 # /dev/rwd3s1c: type: ESDI disk: wd1s1 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 192 sectors/cylinder: 12096 cylinders: 340 sectors/unit: 4124673 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 204800 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0 - 16*) b: 262144 204800 swap # (Cyl. 16*- 38*) c: 4124673 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 340*) e: 3657729 466944 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 38*- 340*) chip# I see it showing me rwd3s1c and wd1s1 (wd1s1x is already mounted, see above), then your instructions were > then do this: > disklabel wd3sX > where 'X' is the number you got above.. then take the letter of the > partition... a,e,f or g and just do this: > mount /dev/wd3sXx > where 'x' is the letter of the partition. X is one (1) already entered above, whence wd3s1 and mount wd2s1x is any of the partitions showing in the table - a, b, c, e. > > Honestly you are starting to annoy me, My apologies >I explained that you'll want > to mount partitions shown from the disklabel command, your disklabel > showed this: > > chip# disklabel wd3s1 > Instead of following my directions you proceeded to attempt to mount > anything remotely resembling wd3s1_anything_ like some sysadmin in > heat. Maybe I'm trying too hard? > and try to mount one of the partitions listed above. I have tried to mount wd3s1a, wd3s1b, wd3s1c, wd3s1e. Those are the partitions to try to mount aren't they? Maybe this is where I am going wrong? $ su Password: chip# mkdir /mnt2 chip# mount /dev/wd3s1a /mnt2 mount: Operation not permitted chip# mount /dev/wd3s1b /mnt2 mount: /dev/wd3s1b on /mnt2: incorrect super block chip# mount /dev/wd3s1c /mnt2 mount: Operation not permitted chip# mount /dev/wd3s1e /mnt2 mount: Operation not permitted I have tried to mount just the partitions that appear to me to be valid, but you can see the results. I created the /mnt2 directory as root, did the mounts as root. Okay, so apparently I am missing something, we know that, but what? Maybe this harddisk just crashed over night when I reinstalled the operating system, I don't know. Should I put it into another machine and attempt to mount it there? I have another bsd box, my firewall. >Honestly you are starting to annoy me, Once again, sorry if I am being a pest, but you do have the option of just telling me to blow off and I'll not bother you anymore, I'l just post to the group only > -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] > "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk." -- Chip www.wiegand.org ***** Visit my web site - Alternative Operating Systems - MS Windows isn't the only OS in town.
