Of course, the drive isn't mine :-/ so I'm sort of powerless on this point. The consensus seems to be though that FreeBSD doesn't support reading those mac disklabels (partitions)... I wonder, can FreeBSD read GPT organized disks (ia64) under i386? -Paul >From Doug Hardie , Mon, Jun 20, 2005 at 09:14:44AM -0700: > > On Jun 20, 2005, at 07:59, Chad Leigh -- Shire.Net LLC wrote: > > > > >On Jun 20, 2005, at 8:12 AM, Bob Bomar wrote: > > > > > >>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > >>Hash: SHA1 > >> > >>pallen@donut.caltech.edu wrote: > >>| I went to mount a UFS filesystem on an OSX prepared drive and > >>discovered > >>| that apparantly FreeBSD can't read mac disklabels?
