Re: Can't mount my fat32 partition
Yes, I'm running 2000 and the first partition is NTFS. Yes, I made a seperate fat32 partition and yes, I did not do a MAKEDEV for ad0s5. As soon as I did that I was able to mount the drive.

Re: Can't mount my fat32 partition
Are you running Windows 2000? It looks like you have an NTFS partition on ads02, which would probably be your C: drive in Windows. Is that what you are trying to mount? If so, you really need: mount -tntfs /dev/ad0s2 /mnt which will mount that drive read-only (NTFS is not writable yet, AFAIK) OR did you create a different FAT32 partition? If you created your own separate FAT32 partition, did you create a logical partition, IN the extended partition? if so, try: cd /dev sh MAKEDEV ad0s5 mount_msdos /dev/ad0s5 /mnt Hope that helps, -Matt On Fri, 2002-09-20 at 13:57, twig les wrote: > Hey all, for some reason I'm having a lot of trouble > mounting a fat 32 partition, even though the book I > have and the web site I found both said that it's a > snap.

Can't mount my fat32 partition
Hey all, for some reason I'm having a lot of trouble mounting a fat 32 partition, even though the book I have and the web site I found both said that it's a snap. The man page didn't help and a google search didn't either so here goes. I keep getting an invalid argument response when I try to mount my windoze partition (as root): L# mount_msdos /dev/ad0s3 /mnt mount_msdos: /dev/ad0s3: Invalid argument Here is my hard drive according to fdisk: Disk name: ad0 FDISK Partition Editor DISK Geometry: 1467 cyls/255 heads/63 sectors = 23567355 sectors (11507MB) Offset Size(MB)End Name PType Desc SubtypeFlags 0 0 62- 6 unused0 63 29966136829ad0s1 1 NTFS/HPFS/QNX7 6136830 5498 17398394ad0s2 3 freebsd 165C 17398395 3012 23567354ad0s3 4 extended 15 23567355 5 23579135- 6 unused0 And here is my OS: L# uname -a FreeBSD L.liza.com 4.6.2-RELEASE-p2 FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE-p2 #0: Mon Sep 16 13:41:26 PDT 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/FW.safe i386 As you can see, fdisk (and partition magic 5.0) thinks that the fat32 partition is extended, but it is numbered as 3, when extended partitions are supposed to start at 5 (so I've read). Well ad0s5 doesn't exist and ad0s3 is clearly the 3gig fat32 I just formatted. Please help a poor confused soul. = --- Heavy metal made me do it. --- __ Do you Yahoo!?
