All the rest of the partitions (b for swap, c represents the entire disk, d for /var, e for /tmp, and f for /var) cannot be mounted at all. I want to access /var and /usr as well. All of these partitions (a to f) are inside the FreeBSD slice /dev/mapper/virtualmachines-freebsd1. virtualmachines-freebsd1 is akin to /dev/sda1. -- Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) Dip(Mechatronics) BEng(Hons)(Mechanical Engineering) Alma Maters: (1) Singapore Polytechnic (2) National University of Singapore My Primary Blog: http://teo-en-ming-aka-zhang-enming.blogspot.com My Secondary Blog: http://enmingteo.wordpress.com My Youtube videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/enmingteo Email: space.time.universe@xxxxxxxxx Mobile Phone (Starhub Prepaid): +65-8369-2618 Street: Bedok Reservoir Road Country: Singapore _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
