Further to this problem, I booted CURRENT- 20 October 2002 and mounted the fixit floppy. Trying "tar cvf test /mnt" gave the usual errors as before.
Mounting the fixit.flp as a memory disk using mdconfig -a -t vnode -f fixit.flp -u 4 mount -oro /dev/md4 /mnt and trying tar as before gave no errors, so the layout of the disk is obviously ok. Mounting a fixit.flp from the 4.0 cdrom also gives errors on tar. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
