Is is 'when I encounter an ELF not branded for FreeBSD, treat it as -branded'? Please correct me if I (and probably others) am getting this wrong! I use sysctl kern.fallback_elf_brand=3 and try to launch a linux bash but get an error message I currently cannot reproduce, something like 'Unknown ELF brand '0'. Abort trap.' Is this behaviour ok? By the way: I just had a crash as you could read in my previous mail and now need to fsck my ext2fs partition. This gives me the same problem as in creating it (I had to get a one-floppy linux distro to be able to create the fs): both mke2fs and fsck.ext2 do one-byte (!) reads on the special file which of course is not supported: dscheck(#ad/0x30002): b_bcount 1 is not on a sector boundary (ssize 512) Has anyone successfully worked with the e2fsprogs port? Is it broken? Or DOES linux fs software do byte reads? (Are linux people nuts?) Help appreciated. I'm currently stuck.
