Just remember that only block devices can be mounted as filesystems,
and you almost always want to use the character (raw) device interface
for applications that want to work directly on the filesystem (fsck,
newfs, dump, ...) though those all also work (less effeciently) using
the block device.

Ohh, thanks Robert, reading what you have written I think I may explain why I had
loooong fsck recovering my ext2 partition under NetBSD compared to Linux (5 hours instead of 1).
I am almost sure that I used "fsck.ext2 /dev/sd0e" instead "fsck.ext2 /dev/rsd0e".
is that possible?

Regards.
Ramiro.
