Re: mount question

[Alex Hornung <ahornung@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi Andrei,

BSDs use disklabels on top of what one calls partitions. DragonFly in 
particular uses disklabel64 which Linux has no support for as far as I know.

So the structure would be:

-------
| Partition
|   --------------
|   | disklabel partition
|   |
|   --------------
|   | disklabel partition
|   |
|   --------------
-----------
| Partition
| ....


Kind regards,
Alex Hornung
