--jI8keyz6grp/JLjh Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I'm happy to see that vmware3 now compiles on FreeBSD 6 and an looking forward to using it again. However, when I start it I get: Unable to open either the disk '/dev/md0'.... Strange. I used to be able to used a memory disk for my files under FreeBSD 5. Doesn't anyone know what's going on? For reference: genius% ls -ld /dev/md0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root operator 0, 130 Nov 21 12:12 /dev/md0 genius% id uid=3D100(joe) gid=3D100(joe) groups=3D100(joe), 0(wheel), 5(operator),= 68(dialer) and it's definitely a good disk: genius# mount_ntfs /dev/md0s1 /mnt genius# ls /mnt $AttrDef $Volume Program Files $BadClus AUTOEXEC.BAT RECYCLER $Bitmap Binaries System Volume Infor= mation $Boot CONFIG.SYS WINDOWS $Extend Documents and Settings Websites $LogFile IO.SYS boot.ini $MFTMirr Inetpub clj4500 $Secure MSDOS.SYS ntldr $UpCase NTDETECT.COM pagefile.sys And also: genius# ls -l /compat/linux/dev/md* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 8 Dec 7 2004 /compat/linux/dev/md0 -> /dev= /md0 What gives? Me confused. It's not the block vs character device issue again is it? I thought that we'd fixed that ages ago... :( Joe --=20 Josef Karthauser (joe@tao.org.uk) http://www.josef-k.net/ FreeBSD (cvs meister, admin and hacker) http://www.uk.FreeBSD.org/ Physics Particle Theory (student) http://www.pact.cpes.sussex.ac.uk/ =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D An eclectic mix of fact an= d theory. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D --jI8keyz6grp/JLjh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkOB4oAACgkQXVIcjOaxUBbidgCfQGxL7FFamsrznEv/e1rpGMrF cesAn3BNNccjAD65W3hzqRAZ2qZSM2Sm =D8h9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --jI8keyz6grp/JLjh--
