Opps! When I said bsd44, I actually meant 44bsd. Mount options for ufs ufstype=value UFS is a file system widely used in different operating systems. The problems are differences among implementations. Features of some implementations are undocumented, so its hard to recognize the type of ufs automatically. That's why the user must specify the type of ufs by mount option. Possible values are: old Old format of ufs, this is the default, read only. 44bsd For filesystems created by a BSD-like system (NetBSD,FreeBSD,OpenBSD). etc. Sorry for any confusion! I have also tried it without the -o 44bsd and get the same error. /Chris -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Christopher Bruce Stank cstank@nortelnetworks.com CES - Sys Test Engineering (978) 288-6185 Nortel Networks (508) 769-9664 (cel) 600 Technology Park (978) 445-5328 (pgr) M/S E65/60/301 (978) 288-4004 (fax) Billerica, MA 01821 248-6185 (esn) On 11 Nov 2002, Peter Gutowski wrote: peter>Sometimes you gotta believe the error message. peter> peter>I've reread the mount man page and I see no reference to bsd44 as being a legal option.
