Re: How to mount FreeBSD from Debian or any Linux possibly

I don't have any FreeBSD partitions around at the moment or I'd try it out myself and see if I can get it going. Another approach you could try if you can't get it to mount with uid = knoppix is to mount it as root the way you were additionally doing, then chown the whole thing to knoppix. chmodding it to 777 might also work, if you feel like playing with fire :-) Jonathan -- gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys ACC46EF9 Key fingerprint = E52E 8153 8F37 74AF C04D 0714 364F 540E ACC4 6EF9 I love the smell of filtered spam in the morning - it smells like victory! Thanks Jonathan!!! :) The chown sshhtick did the trick!!

I really should drink some more coffee before answering. The 'uid=' option I suggested is invalid for ufs partitions (I use it normally on smb shares) Ruben, Your suggested command line returned an error and did not work. Is there a hack where I can edit the /etc/mtab or /etc/fstab files in realtime instead? Not that I know of, but maybe you'll get better answers on a knoppix mailing list. good luck, Ruben -- Peter Leftwich President Founder, Video2Video Services Box 13692, La Jolla, CA, 92039 USA http://Www.Video2Video.Com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

My X session *was* unfortunately running as knoppix but I could do a Ctrl-Alt-F1 (or Alt-F1 I forget) and go to the vtty there, type in just passwd and then be prompted for a new root password so that in my X session, I could run a terminal window and su then type in THAT new password. (Sorry; Was that explained well?) Anyways. The icon for the mounted freebsdpartition had a padlock icony, hence, it seemed that only root had GUI (graphical user interface) access to the mounted drive!
