mount /dev/md0: invalid argument

drhowarddrfine · Dec 16, 2010

I downloaded disc1 of FreeBSD and tried to mount the ISO:

Code:

mdconfig -a -t -f FreeBSD-blahblahblah.iso -u 0
mount -r /dev/md0 /mnt

but I get a

Code:

/dev/md0 invalid argument

when I try to mount it. md0 is in /dev and the md5 is good.

An ISO file is in ISO9660 format, called cd9660 in FreeBSD.
# mount -t cd9660 /dev/md0 /mnt

I thought of doing that twice and didn't. Thanks, it worked.
