To get to the labels, such as wd1s1c, you have to use a different device node. The disklabels in Linux are presented as "logical partitions", i.e. their names start with /dev/hdb5, etc. Assuming that wd1 is the only disk with a FreeBSD slice on it, which contains a label with a single "partition", the wd1s1c device, you can find the proper BSD partition (not slice, mind you) at /dev/hda5. So, you should be able to mount it with: % mount -t ufs /dev/hda5 /mnt -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public PGP key: finger keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr PGP fingerprint, phone and address in the headers of this message.
