If you need fsck for ext2, you could just book a Knoppix (or maybe Slackware) live CD. No need to install Linux, you should be able to run fsck from the CD, and that will clear the ext2 partition. I will also confirm what the other poster said, the correct syntax for mounting the partition should be: mount_ext2fs /dev/as2s2 /data2 Assuming of course that /dev/ad2s2 is the correct partition, and that /data2 actually exists. Using "mount -t ext2fs" has never worked for me under FreeBSD, though it is the correct syntax under Linux. regards, Robert > other deep routed issues. i had read on the mailing list about marking the > CLEAR flag for the partition, and that fsck for ext2fs would be required for > that. it would seem if i could get that installed it'd be one step closer to > being able to mount these partitions. thnx again. > > _ Johnny
