ufs on linux question/problem

[Admin Mailing Lists]

Trying to mount a solaris x86 drive under linux.
kernel 2.4.5, ufs support and x86 partition support compiled in (no
module)
On boot, linux recognizes the drive, but shows no solaris partitions on
it.
Below, linux drive is hda, solaris is hdb.

Tried to mount from the command line with:
mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=sunx86,ro /dev/hdb /mnt
mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=sunx86,ro /dev/hdb1 /mnt
All failed.

Only relevant log message i saw was:
Jul  2 22:04:02 stevenjude2 kernel: ufs_read_super: bad magic number

a fdisk on /dev/hdb shows no partitions. could the drive or partitions be
corrupted or something? if so, is data salvage likely?

Thanx,

-Tony

You need support of Solaris disklabels. And UFS patches that are in
-ac. Then you can get more or less safe r/o mounts. r/w is hopeless
at that stage.

isn't that what CONFIG_SOLARIS_X86_PARTITION is?
