Re: Mounting NetBSD disk under FreeBSD.

I think the size of the slice table is a compile constant; if you traced it down and changed it, you might well be able to import your filesystem. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In fact I have booted the machine with NetBSD mounted the FreeBSD disk and transfered my datas on the FreeBSD disk. Then I have recreated the file system on my second disk with FreeBSD. I thinks it is a shame that all the BSD OS can get together and have something consistent through all the platforms. ext2fs can be mounted on all the Linux flavors. -fred- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You do realize that your problem had nothing to do with filesystem format, right? As your solution showed, both OS *do* understand UFS. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The only think I am saying is kind of little detail give a bad customer/user experience and it can be easily avoided. I don't mind snorkeling around in the OS, but this came at some point which I ad no time to loose and I spend almost two day trying to figure out why this disk would not be mounted. I'm not accusing FreeBSD nor NetBSD people. I just think, that's sad. Anyway, I finally got what I wanted and thanks for your patience and your help. -fred- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
