Hello list! I am trying to mount a second HDD on my 4.5-stable box, to copy the data from ext2 and ntfs partitions on it to my A6 partitioned disc.
However, fdisk reports two partition tables (offset 0 and offset 16065) and mount returns input/output error. I assume I shouldn't do neither fsck_ffs nor newfs on foreing filesystems with the data on it. Am I wrong here? What would be the proper way to get around the issue? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance for your help. Below is the output of disklabel, fdisk and mount. In case of RTFM, just please point me to the appropriate man. $ sudo disklabel -E wd1 Password: # Extended partition 0: type 0F start 16065 size 80341065 disklabel: warning, DOS partition table with no valid OpenBSD partition Treating sectors 63-160084415 as the OpenBSD portion of the disk. You can use the 'b' command to change this.
