About mounting msdos partions: can you mount dos extended partitions?
I'm using freebsd-current. I tried to mount them, and I get:
mount_msdos: /dev/wd1s1: Invalid argument. Here is the output from
fdisk /dev/wd1:
******* Working on device /dev/wd1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=785 heads=128 sectors/track=63 (8064 blks/cyl)
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=785 heads=128 sectors/track=63 (8064 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 5,(Extended DOS)
start 8064, size 6314112 (3083 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 1/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 783/ sector 63/ head 127
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
In actuality, disk wd1 has two extended partitions; one d: (2 meg) and e:
(1 meg) but as you can see above fdisk is showing just one 3 meg extended
dos partition. It's also showing partitions 3 & 4, which is confusing
since they don't exist.
