Hi, guys. Never posted a question here before so I apologize in
advance if I unwittingly violate any protocol.
I'm trying to mount a Linux partition on a second IDE drive. FreeBSD
4.1-stable as of a couple weeks ago. relevant dmesg:
ad1: 9541MB <WDC WD100AA> [19386/16/63] at ata0-slave using WDMA2
I do fdisk to see what the drive looks like and get:
numbertenox# fdisk ad1
******* Working on device /dev/ad1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1216 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1216 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 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:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 130,(Linux swap or Solaris x86)
start 63, size 385497 (188 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 23/ sector 63/ head 254
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 131,(Linux filesystem)
start 385560, size 19149480 (9350 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 24/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 254
All well and good. But I try to mount it on the mountpoint /linux and
get:
numbertenox# mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad1s4 /linux/
ext2fs: /dev/ad1s4: Invalid argument
numbertenox# mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad1s4a /linux/
ext2fs: /dev/ad1s4a: Invalid argument
Nothing but invalid argument. :( Don't know what's so invalid about
it. It's there, it's an ext2fs partition. Fdisk can see it, but
mount can't mount it.
Any ideas where I should look to troubleshoot this?
Many thanks,
Ed
