I have reinstalled the Linux on the Ext3, but there was the same problem. Then I have decided to delete the Linux and installed FreeBSD. Then I have tried to mount the slice with FAT32 with the following command: mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s2 /windows the error message was "msdos invalid argument" Then I have seen again that filesystem on the slice was called "Extended", not msdos or anything else. Fdisk don't recognize a FAT32 filesystem. It seems as a lack of anything in the program fdisk. >How-To-Repeat: Example: a 20 GB HDD is divided into 4 GB NTFS, 5 GB FAT32, 5 GB XFS(it could be other - Ext3), 6 GB unused. If you try the same, but without a n unused space, you would not know where is FAT32 and XFS. When you insert 1st CD from FreeBSD it will not make a difference between FAT32 and XFS and will display 10 GB Extended. If you try to mount these slices (actually displayed as one) they can't be mounted. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
