The reason for the mount problem is probably because many different versions of unix but many different versions of the same file system.
The *BSD's are no exception, despite their very closely shared heritage the specifics of the UFS file system have *probably* evolved independently to much for full compatibility out of the box. You can reform mat the disk easily, the handbook describes it. It basically amounts to using fdisk, disklabel (now named bsdlabel on freebsd), newfs, and editing /etc/fstab.

hi
Thank You
So its really a Post install as i see it sysinstall It does look so confusing to me compared to what i been doing on Solaris. If i choose dedicated mode for all my other extra drives does that mean they will default to UFS which is what i want UFS i dont want Windows to access them but i dont mind if solaris does. This may take alot of time getting use to. You see i am still using BSD as a web server and never gave up using it. But as a desktop i been playing with solaris Because i am having problems writing to a dvdrw disk is the reason i am considering the change to BSD again as a desktop which is a lame excuse to switch over to a different os but there is absolutely no one out there to help me who knows what is wrong. My Drive does read and write Dvds though but not Dvd Rw on Solaris only on BSD it seems to work.

it's easy enough to slice up the disks, no need for using dangerously dedicated mode. Windows doesn't understand FreeBSDs UFS2 and will just mark it as an 'unkown' vulme and largely ignore it.

hi
@TerryP
it looks like i ran into a few problems. i have no more room to dump and backup my data. or i may be able to squeeze a little more. i seen a few sites about the errors i was getting on writing to dvdrw. a few ubuntu people solved the problem although i am using solaris. some of the commands were similar. i know my Dvd writer works fine for writing dvds on Solaris heres what i get when i try it on a dvd rw First of all i do not see a Disk show up on my desktop if its empty. so i am not even sure if it mounts when its empty. When i use a blank DVDR disk i get a prompt asking me what i want to do but i get no prompt at all with a DVD+RW disk OK i have a blank DVD+RW in here now code: cdrecord -v test-file # cdrecord -v test-file /usr/bin/cdrecord.bin: No write mode specified. /usr/bin/cdrecord.bin: Asuming -tao mode. /usr/bin/cdrecord.bin: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent defaults. /usr/bin/cdrecord.bin: Continuing in 5 seconds... /usr/bin/cdrecord.bin: No CD/DVD-Recorder device specified.

Anyone have any ideas at all?

I don't use cdrecord-ProDVD but if the syntax is anything like regular cdrecord from cdrtools you might try using a -dao switch to force DAO mode. |

heatherval, you seem to always chose the more complicated things
A DVD+RW has, yet again, a life of it's own. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvd%2Brw Must first be blanked (you didn't said you did), it also can be formatted, as any block device, with your file system of choice. This should allow you to make a simple copy (cp). Also, cdrecord ... eeerk! Install dvd+rw-tools package The growisofs command is a nice wrapper around cdrecord and mkisofs, makes many choices for you in the background based on the name of your files and your hardware.

heeeee
Yea well you remember i had OpenBSD on my Web Server i needed an extra hard drive to Move all my Extra Data, So i had taken it out and replaced it with a 40 gig drive, and for some odd reason i can not get that drive as a Master in Bios no matter how i pin it. Perhaps that is why when i try to install OpenBSD on that machine again it just tells me No Disks. i hope i do get that working at some point Not only with OpenBSD but with cgi perl MYPHP MYSQL, So i just Installed FreeBSD On that Server Box and am using that as my Web Server for now till i get some more insight on what went wrong, The last time i was too lazy to check. i still want to use OpenBSD on that machine. On This machine i am using Geos on a commodore 64 off a 5 1/4 floppy disk just kidding. Oh and no never did ever figure that PHP out even though i installed it so many ways and thought i added the proper ln the apache config file. i only needed it for a time i wanted to run that Forum i once had on my XP Box it was a Skinabble forum very nice looking. And since i do not want to put my email address on my Web page i also use to use cgi -perl And dont even know how to do that in BSD as of yet. i got a long way to go lol i just hope the commands are the same or close when i restart my firewall rules on that machine and restarting apache And if the logs are still in /var/log/httpd-access

It is that friend of mine that influences me alot. He uses Only Solaris at Work. i told him i will put his photos on my Site later on tonight. He was the one who first introduced me to windows 3.1 and zip Drives with games you can actually play lol He works as a Network Admin and since i moved i can no longer see him so, we just talk via email and phone at times when hes not too busy. The DVD+RW tools i had installed once, and didnt have a clue how to use it lol. the readme was terrible. The tools were sitting in a directory /opt/bin/dvd-something tools Yes that Dam cdrecord said i was not allowed to Blank the DVDRW so i went and did a full format from a windows machine using alcohol lol (not drinking it folks) But that is the wrong to do it way isnt it?

Pull the plu, take a breather, have a life.
Sleep a couple of days without powering on that thinghies with a keyboard you use as a memory/brain prothesis. After a week or so you will have a better idea of what you gonna do. As ai-danno said, join the dark side. For production and data I only trust Open. Other OSes are on multi-boot. Even using Open as application server (writing this post on Windows, Xming'd an PuTTYied/ssh to the server).

You and danno Both must know the only
reason i prefer OpenBSD as my Web Server over FreeBSD is because, i think the blow fish Looks much cuter and more trusting then a Devil with a pitch Fork.
