I used to run Red Hat 7.0 on a hard disk partitioned like this, 1 primary paration (for /) about 1.0GB, and then an extended partition with 3 logical partitions for /usr, /var, and /home. When I decided to switch to FreeBSD I added a new hard disk as my primary boot disk, and my my existing linux (ext2fs) drive my slave. When BSD boots, it sees the drive as ad1, and that's okay. But my problem is when I run fsck on /dev/ad1 or /dev/wd1 all I see is an entry for Partiotion 1 (EXT2FS), and Partion 2 wich reports as an MSDOS Extneded partion. I can't seem to mount this or any of the existing partitions to BSD. Do I have to do something else (special) to get this filessytem to mount to BSD? For now it appears that I can only mount Linux EXT2FS primary partiations to BSD. If anyone knows a way to do this, please let me know. Thanks! -Rory Savage email: rsavage@nando.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
