Subject:   UFS2 may prevent from sharing partitions with some *BSDs
Message-ID:  <20020822.215921.424244459.kazuhito@ph.noda.tus.ac.jp>

In my machine, FreeBSD 5.0-current, NetBSD 1.6-BETA and OpenBSD 3.1 
are installed, and they share some partitions, e.  g.  /home, and
had no problem.
Now, however, after FreeBSD mount those partitions once,
when NetBSD and OpenBSD mount those partitions at boot time, 
fsck stops with error number 8 
and *BSDs fall in single-user mode.  `fsck -y' doesn't succeed too.
If I run `fsck_ffs -b 32' on NetBSD and OpenBSD, fsck finishes completely.
But FreeBSD mounts those partition once, NetBSD and OpenBSD fall in 
single-user mode again.
Though this phenomenon doesn't happen with kernel at 21 June 2002 6:15 UTC,
that happens with one at 6:20 UTC.  
Differences between them may be UFS2 codes.
So UFS2 may prevent some *BSDs from mounting shared partitions.

This phenomenon is, however, not so critical, because NetBSD and 
OpenBSD can mount those partitions without fsck checking.
If I run `mount -a' and `exit' after NetBSD and OpenBSD fall
in single-user mode, those *BSDs start with no problem.
No file is lost.

Can you let your *BSDs share some partitions?  If anyone can't do it,
I'll write send-pr.
