Re: Backing up

I think FreeBSD supports ext2 better than Linux supports UFS.

This is a ways down my priority list, but since the subject has
come up :)

It is not working for me at all (in 6.1):

# ll /dev/ad0s7
crw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 93 Sep 4 02:30 /dev/ad0s7
# file -s /dev/ad0s7
/dev/ad0s7: Linux rev 1.0 ext2 filesystem data
# grep -w ad0s7 /etc/fstab
/dev/ad0s7 /linux ext2fs ro 0 0
# ll -d /linux
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Aug 24 12:09 /linux
# mount /linux
mount_ext2fs: /dev/ad0s7: Operation not supported by device
# uname -a
FreeBSD fbsd61 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May 7 04:32:43 UTC 2006 root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386

What am I doing wrong?
