Hi folks, Just wanted to report that the hack/patch which Matt Thomas sent to me DOES work to allow BSDI disks to be mounted. Yes, its ugly, and I understand that it will only work for disks that are one big BSDI slice and partition (if I'm reading the code right) but that's all I need for my purposes. The kernel bitches during the mount about the magic number for the partition being wrong, but it fscks and mounts anyway, and once mounted doesn't blow up. At least not so far :-) Thanks. It isn't perfect, but it'll do what I need. Given this patch, I assume REAL support for this kind of thing wouldn't be hard to figure out and do. At the very least it doesn't look like committing the patch would hurt anything.
