Hi
I have a 120gb SATA disk with the following>
eco# fdisk ad4
******* Working on device /dev/ad4 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=232581 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=232581 heads=16 sectors/track=63 (1008 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 238 (0xee),(EFI GPT)
start 1, size 234441647 (114473 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
eco# gpart show ad4
=> 34 234441581 ad4 GPT (112G)
34 6 - free - (3.0K)

eco# ls /dev/ad4*
/dev/ad4 /dev/ad4p1 /dev/ad4p2
eco# mount_msdosfs /dev/ad4p1 /mnt
eco# find /mnt
/mnt
/mnt/EFI
/mnt/EFI/APPLE
/mnt/EFI/APPLE/EXTENSIONS
/mnt/EFI/APPLE/EXTENSIONS/Firmware.scap
eco# umount /mnt
That makes me think ad4p2 is HFS or HFS+ so I installed hfsexplorer
(http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/hfsx.html) and it tells me ad4p2 is
an invalid HFS type.
So try a few other things
eco# mount /dev/ad4p2 /mnt
mount: /dev/ad4p2 : Invalid argument
eco# mount_msdosfs /dev/ad4p2 /mnt
mount_msdosfs: /dev/ad4p2: Invalid argument
eco# mount -t ext2fs /dev/ad4p2 /mnt
mount: /dev/ad4p2 : Invalid argument
Any ideas?
