jhb> Err, well, when we run fsck on an existing partition, we jhb> shouldn't say 'fsck /dev/ad0s1a', we should use 'fsck_ffs jhb> /dev/ad0s1a'. Does that make sense now?

We only run fsck to FFS, so it's safe to change 'fsck' to 'fsck_ffs'. jhb> With devfs /dev should have all existing disks and partitions. jhb> At least if you open the device it will create it for you if it jhb> is valid.

Maybe we can try to put mount_devfs and mount devfs to /mnt/dev. -- - Makoto `MAR' Matsushita To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
