Mounting Freebsd UFS under Mandrake 9.0 ?!?

[Guest itti]

I've got an FreeBSD 5.0 machine set up here, it will be my router for internet access, firewall, anonymous ftp ect.

ok now my current workstation (mandrake 9.0) is about 4 miles away from my fbsd server and i dont have any network connection to it. so i set up an removable harddisk with the freebsd filesystem to store my downloads on it. "man mount" in Mandrake tells my i'm able to mount the ufs with

mount /dev/hdd1 -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd /mnt/leech

. but it gives me

mount: Falscher Dateisystemtyp, ungültige Optionen, der

      »Superblock« von /dev/hdd1 ist beschädigt oder es sind

      zu viele Dateisysteme eingehängt

. :D ok the error messag is in german, the kernel is complaining about a possibly damaged superblock in /dev/hdd1 or to many mounted filesystems. i don't think i have mounted to many filesystems. Is there anyone out there with expriences in mounting ufs?

ok i'm too stupid :D

 

the one, only and working command is

mount /dev/hdd1 -t ufs -o ro,ufstype=44bsd /mnt/leech

Your syntax on the mount command looks wrong to me but i've never mounted a ufs file system. I don't know if the order makes any difference but normally you would:

 

mount -t [filesystem] [device] [mount point]

 

or more generally:

 

mount [options] [device] [mount point]

 

-o takes special arguments with it. Try this:

 

# mount -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/hdd1 /mnt/leech

 

Basically all I've done is put the two options in front (-t, -o) followed by the device file followed by the mount point.
