I have a 250GB USB hard drive, and I'd like to create a UFS file system on it then mount it. It had an ext2 file system on it, but deleted it before taking it off the Linux box. I've tried working with disklabel and fdisk, but I don't seem to be understanding the man pages since I'm not getting anywhere. The system *is* seeing the drive as /dev/da0. Can anyone offer me directions on what I've got to do? -------------------------- Dan Mahoney dan@wolf.com "How you behave towards cats here below determines your status in Heaven."
