Hi,

I just installed 5.0-RELEASE, and I have been having trouble mounting my =
Linux=20
/home partition.  It is a logical ext3 partition, which Linux called=20
/dev/hda7 .  I've been getting the following error:

# mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad0s7 /mnt
ext2fs: /dev/ad0s7: No such file or directory

But the device is there, as evidenced by

# ls -l /dev/ad0s7
crw-r-----  1 root  operator    4,   7 Apr 28 17:20 /dev/ad0s7

In fact all the slice/partition devices I'd expect are present, so it wou=
ld=20
seem that the kernel is reading the entire partition table correctly.

I read through the archives, and the consensus seems to be that ext3 and =
ext2=20
filesystems should be interchangeable.  So I don't think that's the issue=
=2E

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kevin Wortman
