Myers) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Mounting extended DOS partitions Date: 19 May 1996 00:08:21 GMT Organization: PSI Public Usenet Link Lines: 39 Message-ID: <4nlopm$he4@usenet4.interramp.com> Reply-To: dcmyers@access.digex.net NNTP-Posting-Host: ip19.san-francisco3.ca.interramp.com X-Newsreader: knews 0.9.3 Can anybody give me the magic recipe to mount the d:, e:, and f: extended DOS partitions of my wd0 disk? I tried the obvious command; i.e., root> mount_msdos /dev/wd0s2 /mnt/d root> mount_msdos /dev/wd0s3 /mnt/e ..etc But this did not work (the mount command itself returns an error). In contrast, /dev/wd0s1 (my primary DOS partition) does mount fine on /dos using the same kind of command. Here is a listing of the relevant wd0 entries in /dev, on the theory that perhaps I'm missing some slice devices or something: brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 65538 Apr 28 14:20 /dev/wd0 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 0 Apr 28 14:20 /dev/wd0a brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 1 Apr 28 14:20 /dev/wd0b brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 2 Apr 28 14:20 /dev/wd0c brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 3 Apr 28 14:20 /dev/wd0d brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 4 Apr 28 14:20 /dev/wd0e brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 5 Apr 28 14:20 /dev/wd0f brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 6 Apr 28 14:20 /dev/wd0g brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 7 Apr 28 14:20 /dev/wd0h brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 131074 Apr 28 14:20 /dev/wd0s1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 196610 Apr 28 14:20 /dev/wd0s2 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 262146 Apr 28 14:20 /dev/wd0s3 brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 327682 Apr 28 14:20 /dev/wd0s4 Any help would be greatly appreciated. -David
