Mounting FreeBSD partitions on OpenBSD
I'm trying to mount my FreeBSD partitions in OpenBSD. OpenBSD has no problem finding, reading and writing to the root partition for FreeBSD but doesn't see the other partitions(/home, /usr, /var). I know I have to manually edit the disklabel to add those partitions. My problem is that the disklabel editor doesn't want to change or edit a partition that isn't on the OpenBSD slice. Is there anyway to edit the disklabel using disklabel without resorting to an editor like vi since I don't feel entirely comfortable manually computing and changing the tabel, or if that is my only option, what is the required entries to the table I need to provide? thanks, roger Here is the disklabel from FreeBSD: # /dev/ad0s2: 8 partitions: #size offsetfstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] a: 102400004.2BSD0 0 0 b: 4096000 1024000 swap c: 393592500unused0 0 # raw part, don't edit d: 1024000 5124.2BSD0 0 0 e: 1024000 61440004.2BSD0 0 0 f: 1024 71680004.2BSD0 0 0 g: 21951250 174080004.2BSD0 0 0 And here is the disklabel from OpenBSD: j is the partition I want to add # /dev/rwd0c: type: ESDI disk: ESDI/IDE disk label: HTS541060G9AT00 flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 16 sectors/cylinder: 1008 cylinders: 16383 total sectors: 117210240 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0# microseconds track-to-track seek: 0# microseconds drivedata: 0 16 partitions: # sizeoffset fstype [fsize bsize cpg] a: 1023435 78734565 4.2BSD 2048 16384 328 # Cyl 78109*- 79124 b: 4095504 79758000swap # Cyl 79125 - 83187 c: 117210240 0 unused 0 0 # Cyl 0 -116279 d: 1024128 83853504 4.2BSD 2048 16384 328 # Cyl 83188 - 84203 e: 1024128 84877632 4.2BSD 2048 16384 328 # Cyl 84204 - 85219 f: 10240272 85901760 4.2BSD 2048 16384 328 # Cyl 85220 - 95378 g: 21068208 96142032 4.2BSD 2048 16384 328 # Cyl 95379 -116279 i: 3937525263 MSDOS # Cyl 0*- 39062* j: 39359250 39375315 unknown # Cyl 39062*- 78109*

Is it even possible to accomplish this? Thanks in advance, Varun.

ufs2 is not supported. -- we don't run washington and no one really does

Thanks for pointing that out. freebsd 5.x default to ufs2. Is there a possibility of ufs2 support being incorporated in openbsd in the future?
