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.
