1. `Invalid argument' problems with mount_ext2fs
I've never gotten that message when _mounting_ an ext2fs filesystem. But
during boot-up, I get this:
wd1s4: raw partition size != slice size
wd1s4: start 846720, end 2128895, size 1282176
wd1s4c: start 846720, end 947519, size 100800
No error messages here during mount.
Now, I cd /mnt/usr, and do an ls:
-snip-
ls: ix86-linuxaout: Invalid argument
ls: libexec: Invalid argument
ls: man: Invalid argument
ls: openwin: Invalid argument
ls: sbin: Invalid argument
ls: share: Invalid argument
ls: src: Invalid argument
This seems related to the message I was getting on bootup:
wd1s4: raw partition size != slice size
wd1s4: start 846720, end 2128895, size 1282176
wd1s4c: start 846720, end 947519, size 100800
Maybe when I did fdisk in Linux on these partitions, it did something
off-the-wall that FreeBSD's mount_ext2fs didn't understand. I don't think
it could be the inode density I've used when formatting my Linux /usr
partition (in this case /mnt/usr).
It probably also depends on the version of FreeBSD you are using. What
doess uname -sr give you?
FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is what I'm running right now.
I think that ext2fs hasn't been maintained as well as it used to. Or, in
may case, maybe I did something slightly off the wall in Linux that may be
acceptable to the Linux kernel, but FreeBSD doesn't recognize what I've
done.
