Hello,
I am running pcbsd 8.1 64bit and am trying to mount a logical ntfs
partition. I have 2 ntfs partitions but the dolphin file manager only sees
one of them (my primary one). Below is my disk layout:
sda1 (ntfs)
sda2 (ext2)
sda3 (pcbsd/ufs2)
sda4 (extended partition containing logical partitions)
sda5 (ntfs)
sda6 (ext4)
sda7 (ext4)
sda8 (ext2)
sda9 (ext4)
For some reason pcbsd doesn't detect any of my logical partitions. I have
tried mounting (using su) ad0s5 (and ada0s5) but the prompt tells me there
is no such file or directory. A quick look under /dev/ reveals this to be
true. I double-checked by issuing the command ls /dev/ad* and the output
listed the following devices:
ada0 ada0s1 ada0s2 ada0s3 ada0s3a ada0s3b ada0s4
Below is the output of the command gpart show:
=> 63 976773105 ada0 MBR (466G)
63 1985 - free - (993K)
2048 210630656 1 !7 [active] (100G)
210632704 681289728 4 !5 (325G)
891922432 41947136 3 freebsd (20G)
933869568 42903552 2 !131 (20G)
976773120 48 - free - (24K)
=> 0 41947136 ada0s3 BSD (20G)
0 39606272 1 freebsd-ufs (19G)
39606272 2330624 2 freebsd-swap (1.1G)
41936896 10240 - free - (5.0M)
As you can see ada0s4 is 325G. This is consistent with the size of my
extended partition. However, when I issue the command gpart show ada0s4 (or
ad0s4) the prompt tells me no such geom.
I use my logical ntfs partition (sda5/ada0s5) regularly under both win7 and
linux. Haiku also detects this partition. I am at a loss as to why pcbsd
doesn't detect any of my logical partitions. Is there any other output that
I can provide to help solve the issue?
