Thanks for answering me, but I've read it again and again. And there are
two things. the first one, I don't want to add a new disk in this way
because there are already 3 partitions. So, I should just have to
mount...

And the second thing, here is what I've got when i try the handbook
way :

#dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/da0 bs=1k count=1
dd: /dev/da0: end of device
1+0 records in
0+0 records out
0 bytes transferred in 0.001107 secs (0 bytes/sec)

#fdisk -BI da0
******* Working on device /dev/da0 *******
fdisk: invalid fdisk partition table found
fdisk: Geom not found
fdisk: Failed to write sector zero


I've found some other strange things :

linux :

sarah:/home/mattboll# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sth
sarah:/home/mattboll# cd /mnt/sth
sarah:/mnt/sth# ls
lost+found
sarah:/mnt/sth# mkdir music
sarah:/mnt/sth# echo hello >aze
sarah:/mnt/sth# ls
aze  lost+found  music
sarah:/mnt/sth# cat aze
hello

You can notice that there are no problems with inode, neither with the
size, just with the date (what's this "Dec 29 22:08:24 1946" doing
here ?!!)

any suggestion ?

cheers,
matthieu.
