Please provide the error text and the output of "uname -a" if this doesn't work, but...hello ; my name rizal from indonesia, I have a problem. My partition windows (FAT 32) can't mount in freebsd. My partition in /dev/ad0s1 and /dev/ad0s2. I have been try write"mount -t msdosfs /dev/ad0s1(ad0s2) /mnt/win1(ad0s1) and mount_msdosfs /node " but it don't work. Please help me and sorry for my bad english.
thank you.
Are you certain that it's a FAT32 disk and not an NTFS? Windows XP, for instance, can use the NTFS file system(my Home edition does by default).
That said, there is a problem with your mount syntax. That or I can't figure out exactly what you're typing.
I don't know which of your disk partitions is which. I'm going to give examples as though /dev/ad0s1 is the Windows partition and /dev/ad0s2 is the FreeBSD slice; in /dev, such a slice would show up with letters after the "slice" number to indicate the FreeBSD partition, such as /dev/ad0s2a, ad0s2c, ad0s2d... etc. (I believe b is not currently used, left open for convention; a is for the / partition; and c is swap. This is all convention, but it's convention the FreeBSD installer's auto-partition option in fdisk would adhere to.)
Anyway, if the Windows partition is indeed /dev/ad0s1, make sure /mnt/win1 exists and try the following as root:
mount -r -t msdosfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/win1
This will attempt to mount the device read-only, which may at least be a stepping stone. If this doesn't work, you can also try using NTFS(just in case), thus:
mount -r -t ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/win1
If either works, then you will be able to:
mount -uw /mnt/win1
and update the already-mounted filesystem to read-write.
If you can get this working, Mr Kevin Smith has given an excellent example of how to place an entry into your /etc/fstab file. In fact, it might be easier to put that entry in /etc/fstab and then simply type:
mount -a
to automatically mount the unmounted entries in the fstab.
If this doesn't work, please post the exact error text and what you typed to receive it. Also, the output of "ls /dev/ad*" may be helpful, and as I mentioned above, "uname -a" never is amiss.
