Hello,
I'm trying to mount a Linux HDD. It's divided into Linux partitions, 1, 2,
5 and so on...
The first partition /, and then the 2 is an Extended parititon. The 5 is a
logical partition, and there are 6, 7, and 8 which are also logical
partitions.
I'm trying to mount #5 and 6, 7, and 8 give the same thing:
[11:12][root@saint:/]# mount -t ext2fs -r /dev/ad2s5 /mnt
ext2fs: /dev/ad2s5: No such file or directory
But this is what I get.
So, I check out the info on fdisk:
******* Working on device /dev/ad2 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=3736 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=3736 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 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 131,(Linux filesystem)
start 63, size 48132 (23 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 2/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 5,(Extended DOS)
start 48195, size 59970645 (29282 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 3/ head 0/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>

According to the Handbook, FreeBSD has support for BIOS extended/logical
partitions. But FreeBSD only shows that this is a Primary and an Extended
partition here, not the logical partitions. Does this mean that FreeBSD
does not have support for such partitions? Is there a way for me to see the
data in those partitions from BSD?
My Linux partitions are always divided with only small primary partition for
the /, and then the rest are logical partitions inside the extended.
Thanks.
Peter
