Hello Bill, hello all,

I would like to know how you mount the UFS slices. I have a root
HFS+ file system and two UFS file systems on my PowerBook G4.
As of 10.2, the fstab file is supposed to be read out for mount
information. If I add the two UFS slices to /etc/fstab, the HFS
mount still works, but something during startup gives an error
message (segmentation violation).
I have resorted to manually moving an fstab file in place, doing
an fsck (since this fails *without* an fstab file), removing the
fstab file, and manually mounting the UFS slices (in /etc/rc).
This works most of the time, but usually after a crash the UFS slices
are not mounted, and I get to the point where I can fix it using
">console" only after a loooong timeout.
This can't be the correct way. "Of course" there is *nothing* about
ufs in the documentation anywhere, and the FreeBSD man pages included
with Mac OS X don't quite match.
What is the "officially approved" way of mounting UFS slices in such
a way that (a) there is an fsck preen invoked during reboot and
(b) the system still comes back up after a crash?
I experimented with niload but no luck there either... :-(
If anyone is interested in the exact error message and/or the
fstab file I am happy to provide both (don't have my PowerBook
with me right now).
TIA -- Volker
PS: Is there a more appropriate mailing list for this topic?
