> > Aloha > > I have a 80 gig hard drive that I have sliced up for multiple distros of linux and freebsd. I have win98 on slice 1 and freebsd on slice 2. On slice 10 I have a 2.7 Gig slice formatted as fat32 for data sharing between all distros. > > When logged into frebsd (5.2.1) i can mount the win98 slice with "mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s1 /win98" without any trouble. > > When I attempt to mount slice 10 with "mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s10 /shared" I get the following error: > > mount_msdosfs: /dev/ad0s10: invalid argument. > > Slice 10 was formatted in win98 and scan disk was run. I have a text file and two jpeg photos in the slice. > Only 4 primary slices are recognized. FreeBSD will not talk to a slice 10 and I don't think anything MS will either in a standard manner. That is why they came up with extended partitions. What did you use to create the extra slices? ////jerry > Any help will be appreciated. > > Thanks > > Robert >
