FreeBSD mounting devices at boot time

Leave a reply

This post describes how to set up mounting file systems at FreeBSD boot time.

I have 3 partitions on my PC:

WINXP   NTFS
Backup  FAT32
FreeBSD

1. To mount WINXP and Backup create file dosup.sh
with the folowing contents:

#!/bin/sh
mount_ntfs -u ivan -g wheel -CKOI8-R /dev/ad4s1 /media/WINXP
mount_msdosfs -u 1001 -g 1001 -Wkoi2dos -L ru_RU.KOI8-R -D CP866 /dev/ad4s5 /media/Backup

2. Set dosup.sh executable:

chmod 755 dosup.sh

3. Than move dosup.sh to /usr/local/etc/rc.d to make it run
on system boot:

mv ./dosup.sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dosup.sh
