However I don't think it will help in this case as the device is already seen. More likely the problem is the fs itself. I'm having trouble discerning the current problem you are trying to solve given the scattered nature of the thread, but in general trouble mounting ext2/3 fs results from one of 3 things. GEOM doesn't see the partion which is what the "true > /dev/da0" fixes The fs wasn't dismounted cleanly and needs to be fsck'd The fs was created in a manner incompatible with FreeBSD ext2/3 support. -- Adam Vande More _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
