It's basically a totally unimportant warning, except that it makes me think you've probably shrunk it using FIPS. Partitions shrunk by FIPS are known to cause *serious* troubles when mounting them under FreeBSD. FIPS doesn't modify the clustersize, and some random bug in the msdosfs code gets seriously confused about this. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
