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: The data for partition 4 is: ~ 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.
