It might be, but I had rebooted more than once previously. This time I mounted them using the labels, so maybe *that* is the difference. I have another system running in VirtualBox from Linux (this one is not a virtual machine) and I don't remember having any similar problems with labels on it. It doesn't make sense to me so I really don't know. >> I say mostly because the /usr partition isn't recognized for some >> reason, even though dumpfs and tunefs show the label.

Anything in dmesg or > /var/log/messages. I have checked many times and can't find anything different about that FS compared with the others. It isn't a misspelling because there isn't anything in /dev/ufs except the other 4 labels that I am already using. There is nothing in the logs except the boot error in dmesg when it couldn't find /usr to mount it. The system works so I am not really worried about it. It just irritates me when I can't get things to work as I think they should. --=20 Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
