(8.3-RELEASE,9.1-BETA) Can't mount the partitions created via 4. 11-RELEASE

[Norihiko Murase]

Hi,

My name is Norihiko Murase. I would like you to give me the
comments/suggestions about the symptom described below.


The partitions created by FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE (all of them
are the UFS filesystem) can NOT be mount(8)-ed 
under 8.3-RELEASE or under 9.1-BETA, although they can be 
under 7.4-RELEASE.

This HDD seems to be recognized as "ada0" ("ad16") by the
kernel, but the appropriate device nodes can't be found in
/dev under 8.3-RELEASE or under 9.1-BETA, where I can find
only
  ad16
  ada0
NOT
  ad16s1
  ad16s2a
  ad16s2c
  ada0s1
  ada0s2a
  ada0s2c

On the other hand, all are fine under FreeBSD 7.4-RELEASE;
that is, the appropriate device nodes are created in /dev, 
and these partitions can be mount(8)-ed via these device
nodes without any problems.


------------------------------------------------------------
Symptom Summary::
  
  Mount(8)-ed        | System version
   HDD partitions    |  that does mount(8)
                     +-------------------------------
                     | 7.4-REL | 8.3-REL | 9.1-BETA  
  -------------------+---------+---------+-----------
  old HDD partitions |   OK    |   NG    |   NG [#] 
  new HDD partitions |   OK    |   OK    |   OK [#] 
  
  * "old HDD partitions" are the partitions created by FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE.
  * "new HDD partitions" are the partitions created by FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE.
  * The result "OK" means the following:
      + The appropriate device nodes can be found in /dev.
      + Successfully can be mount(8)-ed via these device nodes.
  * The result "NG" means the following:
      + device nodes: ONLY "ad16"/"ada0" are found in /dev.
      + the partitions can NOT be mount(8)-ed.
  * [#] means the log for these scenes are attached to this
    e-mail message.
  
------------------------------------------------------------

I attach to this e-mail message, the following logs obtained
under FreeBSD 9.1-BETA:
  - the list of device nodes in /dev  (ad16* and ada0*)
  - /var/run/dmesg.boot (kernel message in boot sequence)
  - The result of "# sysctl kern.geom"
  - The result of "# fdisk /dev/ada0"
  - The result of "# bsdlabel /dev/ada0s2"


Thanks in advance.
