Ok, so I'm trying it out. I got the disk ready with: mkfs.ext2 -L "cmol-storage" -m 0 -I 128 /dev/sdb1 , to get the inodes right according to this: http://efreedom.com/Question/H-33983/Flash-Drive-OpenBSD-Specified-Device-Mat ch-Mounted-Device
The disk shows up in dmesg as: umass0 at uhub0 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 "Seagate Backup+ Desk" rev 2.10/1.00 addr 2 umass0: using SCSI over Bulk-Only scsibus1 at umass0: 2 targets, initiator 0 sd0 at scsibus1 targ 1 lun 0: <Seagate, Backup+ Desk, 0503> SCSI4 0/direct fixed sd0: 2861588MB, 4096 bytes/sec, 732566645 sec total And disklabel shows: # disklabel sd0 # /dev/rsd0c: type: SCSI disk: SCSI disk label: Backup+ Desk duid: 0000000000000000 flags: bytes/sector: 4096 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 255 sectors/cylinder: 16065 cylinders: 45600 total sectors: 732566645 boundstart: 0 boundend: 732566645 drivedata: 0 16 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] c: 732566645 0 unused i: 732566272 256 ext2fs However, when I'm trying to mount I get: # mount -t ext2fs /dev/sd0i /mnt mount_ext2fs: /dev/sd0i on /mnt: specified device does not match mounted device Any ideas?
