Hi there, I'm running BSD 4.0 release. To be able to mount my old Linux partitions I recompiled the kernel with support for ext2fs by adding the line option ext2fs to the MYKERNEL configuration file. After installing the kernel and rebooting I tried to mount the ext2 partition but got an error message about wrong magic number expecting,... BSD is installed on slice 3 i.e. /dev/ad4s3a etc. The Linux ext2 partition is on the second one on the drive. Presumably /dev/ad4s2 right? So mounting it should be something like this mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad4s2 /mnt if I'm not mistaken. On top of that I have some ext2 partition living in side an etended dos partition which is /dev/ad4s4 Questions: - What am I doing wrong trying to mount the ext2 partition? - How should I mount ext2 partition that are encapsulated in a dos extended partition? Help is appreciated, regards, Jan ---- home: M.
