=46rom this I would gather linux does not have an fsck variant able to de=

an ufs file system (and I don't think I'd want to trust it if it did). If=
 the=20
partition is imperfect then clean it up under FreeBSD.

Surely this is a question for linux -- not FreeBSD.

I, and guess many other subscribers to this mailing list, would have no i=
dea
how linux names and manages bsd style partitions within slices which I be=
lieve
is exotic in linux.
