To find out the filesystem: # file -s /dev/da0 This will run 'file' on the contents of the drive (-s flag) instead of the drive itself (otherwise, it would say `character device' or something). Some common `mount' commands you could use: If `file' says something about DOS or Windows: # kldload msdosfs # mount_msdosfs /dev/da0 /mnt If `file' says it's UFS: # mount /dev/da0 /mnt If `file' says it's ext2: # kldload ext2fs # mount_ext2fs /dev/da0 /mnt Otherwise, send me the output of the file command above and I'll see what I can do. Notes: 1) If you're running 4.x, replace 'msdosfs' with 'msdos' above. 2) `mount' wants /dev/da0, not /dev/rda0. > -- > Darren Spruell > Sento IS Department > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hope this helps, Josh To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
