Re: [PLUG] EXT2-fs horror

disklabel o/p:
#/dev/wd0
type: unknown
disk: mydisk
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track:63
tracks/cylinder: 1008

total sector: 78198750
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0

8 partitions:
# size offset fstyp [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
a: 238770 10249470 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # Cyl. 10168* - 10404

c: 67949280 10249470 unused 0 0 # Cyl. 10168* - 77578
I am not sure what all this tells me. I see disklabel sees all my hd
partitions, but only lets me see the netbsd ones?

I was not aware that was possible.

So the problem lies in the fact that Linux can't count right? And that I
have a screwy file system?

So if I get my fs right(plan on doing that with a boot cd), things should
work out ok? I have been flushing out buffers, and following other
suggestions. No probs noted during the last 24 hours.
