/dev/sd0h /home/daemonf/ffs ffs ro,noauto 0 0
But mounting a NetBSD partition in OpenBSD , /dev/sd0a won't work .. instead :
Code:
/dev/sd0i /home/daemonf/ffs ffs ro,noauto 0 0
is it because I allocated only one big partition for / ? then it takes sd0i ?
In what way is it similar to a msdos disk then ?
The other question :
When I mount an external ffs as rw , most times it works without problems but I recall a few times when I received warning messages (that I need to check filesystem .. or simply fail to mount one rw )
Why do both instances happen ?
Thank you so much !!

I know this to be true in the case of FreeBSD and NetBSD, so I assume it to be true with NetBSD and OpenBSD and that is this.
Although the BSDs file systems are all called UFS/FFS they each have different implementation of it. Therefore, trying to mount a NetBSD file system on a OpenBSD as if it's a native file system is not going to work. You have to keep in mind that the BSDs are all separate OS and though they share a common ancestor. Not a direct answer, but maybe it will help you to understand why.
