We recently installed an amd64 machine, using -current (20031113,
locally cross-builded from i386).

It came with 2 (IBM 36GB) SCSI disks. sd0 holds a RedHat linux
distribution, and i installed NetBSD on sd1. The linux disk has 2 EXT3
primary partitions for `/boot' (128MB) and `/' (31GB).

I can successfuly mount the small `/boot' partition, but i got
problems with the large one :

root@ibm1 [~]# mount -t ext2fs /dev/sd0e /mount/linux/boot 
root@ibm1 [~]# mount -t ext2fs /dev/sd0g /mount/linux/root
mount_ext2fs: /dev/sd0g on /mount/linux/root: Read-only file system
root@ibm1 [~]# mount
/dev/sd1a on / type ffs (local)
/dev/sd1f on /var type ffs (local)
/dev/sd1e on /usr type ffs (local)
/dev/sd1g on /home type ffs (local)
/dev/sd1h on /local type ffs (local)
kernfs on /kern type kernfs (local)
/dev/sd0e on /mount/linux/boot type ext2fs (local)

Did i missed anything ? Is there a size limit for ext2fs partitions ?

Thanks in advance,
Regards.
