Re: Mount freebsd 5.x disk on linux 2.6.18 problem

[Chuck Gelm <chuck@gelm.net>]

Hi, Eric:

 I am not sure what a 'mp3' drive is, but I will assume that it appears as a
USB thumbdrive or USB external harddrive or similar.

Your posted information from 'fdisk' indicates that there is a /dev/sd4
partition and it may be formatted as DOS.

 Have you tried to mount this device/partition as type 'auto' ?

mount /dev/sda4 /export

 -or-

mount -t auto /dev/sda4 /export

Did you format /dev/sda4 with BSD with filesystem type 'ufs'?

HTH, Chuck
