A ``disklabel ad8'' to have a peek also doesn't work: Ah sorry, I misunderstood you; the ad8 is dedicated to OpenBSD in its entirety? In that case I'm pretty sure that, in standard cases, it should be possible to mounted it as /dev/ad8. (Yes, you wrote that it's seen as wd2a from OpenBSD.) (Btw, what does 'ls /dev/ad*' show?) =20 > # disklabel ad8 > disklabel: /dev/ad8: no valid label found This is expected, BSD labels are not compatible among BSDs: The various BSDs all use slightly different versions of BSD labels and are not generally compatible. (from bsdlabel(8) manpage). That's why you can't (by default) see BSD labels created by another BSD. However, I know that first partition of a NetBSD slice/disk can be mounted from FreeBSD _without_ partition-letter addition (e.g. ad8 will represent what you would expect to be ad8a -- it the disk is "dedicated" -- and ad8s1 will represent what you would expect to be ad8s1a -- if the disk is sliced), but maybe OpenBSD does something differently. --=20 Nikola Le=C4=8Di=C4=87 :: =D0=9D=D0=B8=D0=BA=D0=BE=D0=BB=D0=B0 =D0=9B=D0=B5= =D1=87=D0=B8=D1=9B
