X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 04:21:11 -0000 It was /dev/ad2s1. I was able to do a force mount of the partition though and started recovering the information I was looking for. I am not sure why it is not allowing it in general but I have access to most of the files right now which is good. Has anybody had any problems with 6.2 formatted partitions not wanting to mount in 7?
