chances are that windows/dos will never be able to read any other file systems but ones designed by MS, since they are lamers trying to take over the world. FreeBSD on the other hand *should* be able to read that partition, what version of FreeBSD are you running? I get the same error on mine, but it mounts anyway (running 2.2.6). ___________________________________________________________________________ Pat Lynch lynch@rush.net Systems Administrator Rush Networking ___________________________________________________________________________ On Fri, 17 Jul 1998, Satwant wrote: > Doug, > > I can ignore the message, but cant ignore the fact that what I write in > freebsd cannot be read in dos, and vice versa. > > How do I fix it ? > -Satwant > > > On Thu, 16 Jul 1998, Doug White wrote: > > > > > On Thu, 16 Jul 1998, Satwant wrote: > > > > > > > > I am unable to read / write my dos files in freebsd. > > > On mounting /dev/wdxxxx as msdos file system, I get error message saying: > > > > > > The partition size is not a multiple of cluster size in length. > > > > > > What do I do ? > > > > I don't know if it's still true, but it used to be that this message was > > fatal to the partition being mounted.
