Greetings all, I have a Linux system whose root drive went belly-up. I am attempting to use one of the /home hard drives in a FreeBSD system. I'm running FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE, and have EXT2FS support compiled into the kernel. When I go to mount the drive, I get the following error: [131]root@calico:/root # mount -t ext2fs /dev/da4s1 /home2 ext2fs: /dev/da4s1: Operation not permitted Correspondingly, this message appears in /var/log/messages: Jun 24 15:15:39 calico /kernel: WARNING: R/W mount denied. Filesystem is not clean - run fsck Run fsck -- that much I can do. However, when I try to run fsck on the drive, I get this: [133]root@calico:/root # fsck /dev/da4s1 ** /dev/rda4s1 BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG ioctl (GCINFO): Invalid argument fsck: /dev/rda4s1: can't read disk label That's the one I'm concerned about. I did run fdisk and verified that da4s1 is the correct partition. I also noticed that, when running the labeler, nothing shows up. However, I assumed that was because there are no FreeBSD partitions on the drive. The best choice would, of course, be to fsck the under Linux, since that's its native partition. Unfortunately, that's not an option for me right now. Is there a way to "force" an fsck on that drive, or am I S.O.L. here? Thanks!
