Hi,
I have read man mount googled lots but I am at a loss as how to mount
the 2 partitions on my 2nd hard disk.
I've created 2 new partitions on it: /dev/ad1s1b (swap) and /dev/ad1s1e
/data (ufs)
Ideally, I'd like to mount both the swap the /data partition, then use
mount -p to give me the correct format of the required /etc/fstab
entries... I am stumbling at the first step unfortunately :-(

aphrodite# mount /dev/ad1s1e /data
mount: /dev/ad1s1e on /data: incorrect super block
Right. First of all, swap partitions aren't mounted as such. You
just have to tell the system to start swapping onto the partition:
# swapon /dev/ad1s1b
To make that happen automatically on reboots, add a line like so to
/etc/fstab:
/dev/ad1s1b none swap sw 0 0
In order to mount your /data partition, either you need to tell the
mount command all the parameters it needs:
# mount -t ufs -o rw /dev/ad1s1e /data
or you need to enter the equivalent data into /fstab so that mount can
look up what it needs to know there. There are some other fields in
fstab that 'mount -p' will give default values, but that you'll
probably want to set to something useful. Try something like this in fstab:
/dev/ad1s1e /data ufs rw 2 2
Oh, and do make sure you've created a filesystem on the partition before
you try and mount it..
# newfs /dev/ad1s1e
Cheers,
Matthew
