Hello all,

Our server was upgraded recently. At first, it had a SCSI disk. This was
the boot disk. An additional IDE disk was connected as secondary backup
disk.

Recently, as said, we upgraded the server by moving the SCSI disk from its
booting status to be a regular disk, and installed instead an IDE disk
that was set bootable. The old IDE disk was connected as secondary on the
IDE port to the new IDE disk.

The problem is that I am not able to mount the old IDE now. Here are the
info about the old disk:

******* Working on device /dev/ad1 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=29826 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)

Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=29826 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 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:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 0, size 50000 (24 Meg), flag 80 (active)
        beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 0;
        end: cyl 1023/ sector 63/ head 255

Observe what happens when I try to mount it:

root@dns :~# mount -t ufs /dev/ad1c /disk3
mount: Operation not permitted

Also:

root@dns :~# mount -t ufs /dev/ad1 /disk3
mount: Operation not permitted

Anyone can direct me what to do in order to mount this disk? By the way,
the system identifies the disk and I can see it in dmesg.

Please help if you can. TIA. Noor.
