RE: reading D-Unix filesystems in Linux

[James Peret <jperet@ntsi.com>]

I tried the same technique with DU 4.5.  I could only get read access,
which in your case should be fine.
i don't have any caveats, but it does work.

Subject: reading D-Unix filesystems in Linux


Hi all,

I have an alpha with digital unix which is currently down in order to
replace a broken graphics board. I need some files which are on the disk
but not on the most recent backup, so I thought of putting the disk
on another alpha which has linux.

can I mount a digital unix filesystem on linux? I think I will need
a kernel with support for BSD disklabel and support for UFS filesystem.
Is that correct? Is there anything else I should know in order to do
this?

thanks in advance
cheers

Alfredo
