Some further information . . . recap: failures mounting filesystems that were not in dangerously dedicated mode . . . I have now managed to move many of the files by doing the following: - run fdisk, label and newfs under 8.0 - reboot to 7.2, mount, place files on device - reboot to 8, files now in place Some further observations: - many of my devices, including single-partition devices constructed using: fdisk -I /dev/XXX bsdlabel -w /dev/XXXs1 newfs /dev/XXXs1a are not available from 8.0 if constructed under 7.2, however I can get things to work the other way around. - when I re-setup the disk (using the same commands as above), I am consistently getting the "benign" warning "geom not found", which never appeared under 7.2 Any thoughts? It is quite a pain to dump/restore whole external file systems simply to set up an apparently-identical replacement. Does anyone know much about the recent filesystem changes? Is there a doc somewhere that outlines these? Andrew.
