Hi, i got a Sony Ericsson mobile phone that came with a pre-formatted memory stick that i'm unable to mount in FreeBSD (it mounts fine in Linux).
After investigating i found out that the FreeBSD msdsofs driver bails out on the following code (the pmp->pm_Heads being zero): ---------------------------------- if (!pmp->pm_BytesPerSec || !SecPerClust || !pmp->pm_Heads #ifdef PC98 || !pmp->pm_SecPerTrack || pmp->pm_SecPerTrack > 255) { #else || !pmp->pm_SecPerTrack || pmp->pm_SecPerTrack > 63) { #endif error = EINVAL; goto error_exit; } ---------------------------------- Removing the check for pmp->pm_Heads fixes it for me. Is the check for pmp->pm_Heads really necessary? Grepping through the msdosfs sources i can only see it being used for validation and not used in any calculation (the same applies for the pmp->pm_SecPerTrack value) --- sys/fs/msdosfs/msdosfs_vfsops.c.orig Sun Jul 1 20:42:14 2007 +++ sys/fs/msdosfs/msdosfs_vfsops.c Sun Jul 1 20:46:57 2007 @@ -483,7 +483,6 @@ /* XXX - We should probably check more values here */ if (!pmp->pm_BytesPerSec || !SecPerClust - || !pmp->pm_Heads #ifdef PC98 || !pmp->pm_SecPerTrack || pmp->pm_SecPerTrack > 255) { #else _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
