i JUST subscribed to this list, and this
is my first msg.  i hope its appropriate
for this list.

PROBLEM:
i moved from linux to fbsd and am now
having trouble mounting the Linux
partitions, which are on the original
drive, under fbsd, which is installed on
a new drive. (two drives total)

here's my mounting failure-->

    % mount -t ext2fs /dev/da1s1 /linux
    ext2fs: /dev/da1s1: Operation not
permitted

i know my device name is right becuz of
this-->

    % fdisk /dev/da1
    ******* Working on device /dev/da1
*******
    parameters extracted from in-core
disklabel are:
    cylinders=529 heads=255
sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

    parameters to be used for BIOS
calculations are:
    cylinders=529 heads=255
sectors/track=63 (16065 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:
    sysid 131,(Linux filesystem)
        start 63, size 8498322 (4149
Meg), flag 0
            beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head
1;
            end: cyl 528/ sector 63/
head 254
    The data for partition 2 is:
    <UNUSED>
    The data for partition 3 is:
    <UNUSED>
    The data for partition 4 is:
    <UNUSED>
---------------------------------
i also do have the following line in my
kernel config-->

    options    "EXT2FS"

i've spent a great deal of time trying
to get this to work, and i've just hit a
brick wall.
i've check'd all appropriate man pages,
searched/scanned www.freebsd.org, and
searched thousands of newsgroup
postings...
any help/ideas would be
GREATLY appreciated so i can get my user
data off the linux drive and then blast
it into outerspace where it belongs, and
re-config with UFS.

oh yeah, btw, i'm using   FreeBSD
3.1-RELEASE

THANKS!!
