Other Accessing external usb hdd ext4

[videopete]

Hi there,
I'm having trouble mounting an ext4 external usb hd to my FREEBSD system (part of Freenas). 12.2
The mount -t ext4 /dev/xxx /mnt/extusb
returns operation not permitted.
This should be relatively simple, the system recognizes the drive as da1.
so under /dev it has /devda1 and /dev/da1s1 (figured might be a partition).
I tried both with no luck.

I believe this should work:

Install sysutils/fusefs-lkl.
Add kld_list="fusefs" to your /etc/rc.conf.

Use lklfuse -o type=ext4 /dev/da1s1 /mnt/extusb to mount.

You don't need fusefs-lkl, ext4 is supported by ext2fs(5) nowadays.

However you need to load the corresponding kernel module: # kldload ext2fs

FreeNAS != FreeBSD.

GhostBSD, pfSense, TrueNAS, and all other FreeBSD Derivatives

I tried this but unfortunately it still returns the same error. I loaded the module twice which is why you see the "already loaded" message.

Are you trying to mount the slice or a partition? Please take a look at ls -la /dev/da1*.

 

[videopete]

When the disk is attached, it shows up as da1. I actually tried both but neither worked.

 

[Tieks]

Strange. It shows slice 1 (s1) on the second usb disk (da1), but no partition in it. I'd expect to see da1s1a as a partition that contains a file system. This may not be supported by ext2fs, using mount -v may give more info.
If you need that usb disk for both FreeNAS and FreeBSD you may have to re-partition it in a way that both systems can handle.

I'd expect to see da1s1a as a partition that contains a file system.

Only if the slice contains a BSD label. Which Linux doesn't use.

For FreeBSD it's mount -t ext2fs not mount -t ext4 for ext2, ext3, or ext4. Journalling and encryption however are not supported, and extended attributes are iffy. Refer to ext2fs(5). I don't know about FreeNAS.

This worked perfectly!! Thanks so much!!
