You shouldn't need to use disklabel for a usb stick. Not sure if this is still needed but mkfs.ext2 -I 128 became needed for OpenBSD to mount it but that was made obvious from the xconsole output. ext2fs works fine for me but I have seen some panics when unplugging; ext2fs doesn't get that much love on OpenBSD so you may get more reliability (no panics) using msdosfs or ntfs-3g from ports. The latter requires raw access though for some strange reason and so won't work with securelevel=2 (not default). You can also mount ffs (ufs) on linux read only by specifying ufs type 44bsd to mount. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
