Any ideas why this doesn't work:
root@platinum:~# mount_msdos -o ro /dev/vn0s1 /mnt2
mount_msdos: /dev/vn0s1: Invalid argument
fdisk shows the slices correctly:
root@platinum:/dev# fdisk vn0
fdisk: can't get disk parameters on /dev/vn0; supplying dummy ones
******* Working on device /dev/vn0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1 heads=1 sectors/track=1 (1 blks/cyl)
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1 heads=1 sectors/track=1 (1 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:
sysid 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
start 63, size 1044225 (509 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 258/ sector 63/ head 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 5,(Extended DOS)
start 1044288, size 1068480 (521 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 259/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 523/ sector 63/ head 63
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
The file which was vnconfig'd was created from a harddisk which I can
successfully do 'mount_msdos /dev/ad2s1 /mnt2' on.
Clues? Is this an msdosfs problem, or something more general?
