Mounting extended (DOS) partitions under FreeBSD 3.2 Rel.

Mounting extended (DOS) partitions under FreeBSD 3.2 Rel.

Post by Steve Burt » Thu, 02 Sep 1999 04:00:00



Hi,

I have a machine running FreeBSD 3.2 with an 8Gig drive. The drive is
sliced as:

1     2Gb FAT32 Primary
2     2Gb BSD
3     4Gb FAT32 extended containing 2 'logical' DOS drives

I can mount wd0s1a (DOS drive C:) with no problems but I can't figure
out how to refer to the other two DOS drives (D: and E: under DOS).

Is this possible and if so how?

TIA

Steve.

Yes. By reading the handbook that is conveniently located in
'/usr/share/doc/handbook'. SS 2.4 sez it all.

How embarassing. I thought I'd tried that (wd0s5 and wd0s6) but as
as it says (in the handbook) that's where they were hiding.

Thanks.
Steve.

1. how do i mount an extended dos partition or a dos logical partition ?

i need to access/share data with an NT machine (not on a network)
i have 10G removable hard drives
i am trying to put a file system on it to allow access by both linux and
NT
linux won't mount an ntfs file system
the NT person put 4 primary (?) dos partitions on the disk
and if i run fdisk in linux it sees 4 FAT16 partitions
but it will only let me mount the first one

how do i mount the other 3 ?

is there some special way the disk needs to be formated by NT ?

thanks for any help,
dan
