Greetings, I have read the mini-howto about Linux+FreeBSD, but this does not go into detail as to why I am having this problem. My problem is thus. Whenever I boot into Linux it changes the partition ID of the BSD/386 partition to "b5" which disables the use of this partition under linux. I am currently in a one drive system right now, but this was also problematic when I had a two drive system configured like the howto says (Linux then FreeBSD).
My current partition map:
[root@borg /root]# fdisk /dev/hda The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1025. This is larger than 1024, and may cause problems with: 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., LILO) 2) booting and partitioning software form other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1025 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 1 66 530113+ 6 DOS 16-bit >=32M /dev/hda2 67 67 197 1052257+ b5 Unknown /dev/hda3 * 198 198 1023 6634845 5 Extended /dev/hda5 198 198 328 1052226 b Win95 FAT32 /dev/hda6 329 329 459 1052226 7 OS/2 HPFS /dev/hda7 * 460 460 590 1052226 83 Linux native /dev/hda8 591 591 607 136521 82 Linux swap /dev/hda9 608 608 738 1052226 83 Linux native /dev/hda10 739 739 869 1052226 b Win95 FAT32
Command (m for help):
This is an IBM 8.4GB hdd. so I have a few partitions. The math became easier if I put FreeBSD in the second partition, and as you can see it is "b5".
And here's my fstab incase anyone is wondering
/dev/hda1 /dos msdos default 0 0 #/dev/hda2 /freebsd ufs noauto 0 0 #/dev/hda3 - extended /dev/hda5 /win98d vfat default 0 0 /dev/hda6 /winnt ntfs noauto 0 0 /dev/hda7 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/hda8 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda9 /usr/local ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/hda10 /win98e vfat default 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 noauto 0 0 /dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0
Note: /dev/hda2 was just in there as a reminder for me. I know the "a" slice actually would reside on /dev/hda5 if it actually could see the FreeBSD disklabel.
System Stats: Distro: RH5.1 Libc: Glibc2.0.7 Kernel: 2.1.127 (from pre-patch-2.1.127-3) Note: this has occurred across ALL kernels I have tried. later 2.0 series and 2.1 from about .75 or so.
The long and short of it is that I would like to get my FreeBSD partitions mountable under linux so that I can actually read and write to them. And I am wondering why I am having the problems that I have.
Thanks in advance, Mark
