I've been using an old HDD mounted in a USB caddy for users home folders, svn repositories and the ports framework. All was fine (on FreeBSD-6.3) until I tried to use it with a FreeBSD-7.1 main HDD (CF card). I could initially mount the UFS partition manually with:
# mount /dev/da0s1f /usb
I could then view the various partitions. After trying to mount it automatically with an entry in /etc/fstab (which always worked OK on 6.3) no complaints were seen, but instead of the partition, there was just a single old file listed by ls:
svn# ll /usb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 598 Nov 24 2004 /usb
Unmounting it and remounting manually initially worked, but now, whatever I do, I just see the same old file. The HDD is now out of its caddy and connected to a different 7.1 installation and the problem remains. I can mount the other two partitions (s1d and s1e) OK. bsdlabel shows everything looking good:
And df seems to show the right sort of usage:
Is there some way to retrieve the files? Any idea what could have happened?
Thanks.
