Name: ada0s8 Mediasize: 41943040000 (39G) Sectorsize: 512 Stripesize: 0 Stripeoffset: 162529280 Mode: r0w0e0 rawtype: 131 length: 41943040000 offset: 46143188992 type: linux-data index: 1430498 end: 172043415 start: 90121368 So I put into my /etc/fstab: /dev/ada0s8 /u01 ext2fs ro,noauto 0 0 But when I issue 'sudo mount /u01' I get: mount: /dev/ada0s8: Invalid argument What am I doing wrong?
