They are not mentioned in my current /etc/fstab, although I was thinking of trying some experiments with ext2fs entries at some later date. Here is my current fstab: # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad4s2b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ad4s2a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad4s2h /Users ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad4s2g /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad4s2f /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad4s2e /xRoot ufs rw,noauto 2 2 /dev/ad0s4e /Users/vmsystems ufs rw 2 3 /dev/da0s3h /mnt/32/usr ufs rw 2 4 /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 linproc /compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 For what it's worth, both of the slices which are now linux partitions were initially created as freebsd partitions, and then re-created as linux partitions. The linux partition on ad0 is a real live linux 6.2 install. I'm not sure that I've done much of anything with the linux partition on ad4 yet... Note that I actually have three disks on this machine, the third one being a scsi disk. No odd messages from that one though. (no linux partitions on it, either). --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
