Hello! I have an USB keydrive with ext3 filesystem on it. I'm trying to mount this filesystem on FreeBSD 4.9, but I'm not succeeding. I've seen it written in several places that ext3 filesystem can be mounted as ext2, but...
When I plug in the drive, the following appears to /var/log/messages: Sep 9 14:55:44 box /kernel: umass0: USB Solid state disk, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2 Sep 9 14:55:55 box /kernel: da3 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 Sep 9 14:55:55 box /kernel: da3: <Generic Traveling Disk 1.11> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device Sep 9 14:55:55 box /kernel: da3: 650KB/s transfers Sep 9 14:55:55 box /kernel: da3: 63MB (129024 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 63C) # ls -l /dev/da3 crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 0x0001001a Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3 crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 24 Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3a crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 25 Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3b crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 26 Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3c crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 27 Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3d crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 28 Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3e crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 29 Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3f crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 30 Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3g crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 31 Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3h crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 0x0002001a Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3s1 crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 0x00020018 Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3s1a crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 0x00020019 Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3s1b crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 0x0002001a Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3s1c crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 0x0002001b Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3s1d crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 0x0002001c Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3s1e crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 0x0002001d Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3s1f crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 0x0002001e Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3s1g crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 0x0002001f Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3s1h crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 0x0003001a Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3s2 crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 0x0004001a Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3s3 crw-r----- 2 root operator 13, 0x0005001a Sep 9 14:53 /dev/da3s4 # mount -t ext2fs /dev/da3s1c /mnt/usb ext2fs: /dev/da3s1c: Device not configured # mount -t ext2fs /dev/da3s1c /mnt/usb ext2fs: /dev/da3: Invalid argument The last command causes this to be logged to /var/log/messages: Sep 9 14:57:24 aidamees /kernel: WARNING: mount of da3 denied due to unsupported optional features #file -s /dev/da3 /dev/da3: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data (needs journal recovery) Is my inability to mount caused by this "(needs journal recovery)" or is there something else going on? I did cleanly shut down the Linux box where this partition was written, before removing the USB device. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Everyone has a photographic memory.
