Hey all,
Just made the jump to RH9. Am trying to mount my FreeBSD5 partition.
I ran fdisk, and it located the BSD on s2,
so I did:
mount -t ufs /dev/hdas2 /usr/UX
and I get the
"wrong fs type ... or bad sector" message.
The man page says to put:
ufstype=44bsd
but when I do that, I get what seems to be the mount help file
(i.e. it doesn't recognize the syntax)
What is the correct syntax when using ufstype=44bsd?
More importantly, how can I get my Linux to see my BSD?
BTW, if I do:
-o ro
I get no error, but I can't see anything in the folder in question.

THX

I don't think UFS is in the vanilla RH9 kernel, you might have to recompile the kernel

You already asked this question in another thread. Mounting FreeBSD partitions in either RedHat 9 or 7.3 should be the same process. Since you've basically crossposted, I'm locking this thread. (http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=103011&highlight=freebsd+redhat)

Matter of fact, I gave pretty clear instructions in the other thread. :rolleyes:
