I am running FreeBSD 2.1.0, and got this when mounting my dos drive which was 500Meg. However, I used FIPS to change the partition information from one that was originally 1.2 Gig to split off 700Meg for FreeBSD. I wonder if FIPS causes this in some ways, by modifying an existing 'partition', instead of initially creating a whole new 'partition'. It mounted ok, but when I ran a find on the /c fs, it choked and ended up nuking all of the filesystems, and I ended up having to reinstall. Oddly, the DOS partition survived intact. I don't know how I should feel about that :) Pete
