Re: [PLUG] EXT2-fs horror

It does work on new kernel. No support on old one. Sorry if that was not
clear earlier.

Um...Dunno how to mount another partition. I know in Linux it would be
<dev>=/dev/hda1
<mnt>=/mnt
In netbsd its wd0, wd1, so its /dev/wd0?? I couldn't figure out how to see
the entire hard-drive.
Oh, I found the dissapearing dir in /home/lost+found under numbered dirs,
among other things. I found other user's (this is my own comp) stuff on
there too, plus many proggies I had made accessible only to root, and
so on that I discovered to be missing. I am pretty convinced
its because of the overlapping when I installed netbsd.
Under netbsd I did fdisk and found this:
Parition table:
0: sysid 131 (Linux Native)
start 63(which I believe is the right num), size 10249407 (5004MB)
beg: cylinder 0, head 1, sector 1
end cylinder 637, head 254, sector 63
1: sysid 169(NetBSD)
start 10249470, size 5002MB
beg: cylinder 638, head 0, sector 1
end: cylinder 1022, head 254, sector 63 (is this the prob?)

Did that.

The user's entry is in /etc/passwd. The home dir was not there.

inode number:480986. May I know what can be determined from this number? I
don't know much about this. No idea as to how to find out what cylinder it
is on.

Separate MBR: No.
Separate partition: Yes.
Didn't know you could have more than one MBR.
fdisk under Linux:

Didn't.

That is what I thought too, but since the user's account was hosed twice
after installing NetBSD, it seemed a little fishy.

bootman is the bootmanager for BeOS. Got mixed up in the names. :)
