Thank you for the info. I guess I'll go back to 5 until 5-stable.

if you installed 5.2.1 from iso file burned to cdrom then the new
file system was used. 4.10 can not access the new 5.x file system.
So in your own words 'you are screwed'.

Subject: 5.2.1 fs in 4.10


Hello,

I had 5.2 installed before, and have all my data on a 5.2 -made
disk (separate from the system disk). After that I decided to use
4.10 for the system. Now I cannot mount the data diskslice, I get
"incorrect superblock". Is it possible to use 5.x made disks in 4,
or am I just simply screwed?

Thank you for your time,
Mikko

5.x use UFS2 filesystems by default.  To my knowledge, 4.x does not
have any way to access these.  You'll have to reinstlal 5.X to get
at your data.

When installing 5.X, you can use the options in the disk partitioning
section to choose UFS1 filesystems, which can be used by 4.X ... and
even Linux, I believe.
