This would be a big big help to those who administer Linux boxes from FreeBSD machines. And, it would make life easier for those of us who dual-boot with FreeBSD and Linux. Basically, I'd like to see a port of e2fsck in the ports collection. Also, I had this weird problem in the past. See, I've got another IDE disk on my primary slave IDE controller (1.1 GB). I installed RedHat Linux on there. Basically, that disk had 3 Linux partitions: 120M / /dev/hdb1 120M swap /dev/hdb5 ~800MB /usr /dev/hdb6 Don't ask; the RedHat installer partitioned it this way. Anyhow, when I do fdisk /dev/rad1, FBSD's fsck only sees 2 partitions. Partition one is the 120M / partition, which I can mount OK. But, fdisk claims the 2nd partition is a 920 MB extended DOS partition. Hmmm... well, it may be that my second disk needs low-level formatted or something. - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
