Hi guys, I have a 40gb harddisk with 2 windows(fat32) partitions and 1 fbsd partition. I am using fbsd 5.2.1(with devfs). /dev/ad0 tells me the first partition on my harddisk is a windows fat32 partition (as it should be). When i try to mount it with: "mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/win_c" or "mount -t msdosfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/win_c" or "mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/win_c" I get the error: msdosfs: /dev/ad0s1: Invalid argument I tried a script from freesbie that tries to mount all mountable devices. It identifies ad0s1 as windows partition and tries to mount it but also fails - the error the script gets i don`t know, but i assume it is the same one. I don`t have a /dev/ad0s1e. Now the real weird and annoying thing: i can mount the extended windows partition(/dev/ad0s5) with: mount -t msdosfs /dev/ad0s5 /mnt/win_d without any erros. I don`t know why but hopefully some of you guys know ;). mfg Julian `alamar` Seifert -- Every rule has an exception, except the rule of exceptions. gpg fingerprint: 9C05 DC4C EB33 627F 13F9 98FF D651 8413 1279 7C75
