Yes, this is the FreeBSD-slice hda1: and this is the DragonFly-slice hda2: ..strange numbering, shouldn't it look like this? hda2: One thing I found particularly interesting is that _both_ /dev/hda2 and /dev/hda14 seem to represent /dev/ad0s2a, and I can even mount them both at the same time! =/ -- Fredrik Eriksson - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
