I have a well-running 4.8 system. I have created a new 4.9 system on a new hard drive, and I want to be able to mount the old drive so I can copy all the relevant stuff from it. However, the simple-minded stuff fails. For example, trying to mount the old / partition on the new /mnt, I get: mount: /dev/ad1s1a on /mnt: incorrect super block But the drive is definitely seeable. Here's the output of "disklabel s1a": # /dev/ad1c: type: ESDI disk: ad0s2 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 4856 sectors/unit: 78011640 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: 262144 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 94 # (Cyl. 0 - 16*) b: 1016912 262144 swap # (Cyl. 16*- 79*) c: 78011640 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4855) e: 524288 1279056 4.2BSD 2048 16384 94 # (Cyl. 79*- 112*) f: 524288 1803344 4.2BSD 2048 16384 94 # (Cyl. 112*- 144*) g: 75684008 2327632 4.2BSD 2048 16384 89 # (Cyl. 144*- 4855*) What do I need to do to make the partitions of this new drive mountable? --Paul Hoffman
