Of course it'd be nice if I could mount my DOS harddrive from BSD, so I created a mountpoint (/dos) and added an entry in /etc/fstab like this: /dev/wd0s1 /dos msdos ro,noauto 0 0 Now, when I want to mount my DOS drive (``mount /dos'') I get this disturbing message: ``Dec 20 21:44:42 mappy /kernel: mountmsdosfs(): Warning: root directory is not a multiple of the clustersize in length'' At first I decided this was no big deal; everything seemed to work fine, but after a ``ls -l'' in a few directories on the /dos partition there's output like this: ``ls: da visua.l c: No such file or directory ls: db ls ma.n x: No such file or directory ls: dplayer .xcd: No such file or directory ls: er xcdpl.aye: No such file or directory ls: es & exi.t f: No such file or directory ls: hrc csh .ls : No such file or directory ls: ht ls li.str: No such file or directory ls: ig lS vi. vg: No such file or directory'' The actual output is much longer, but I think you get the picture. Am I doing something wrong here? Is my hardware faulty? Please forgive any grammer errors; English is not my native language.
