HP-UX and Linux/ Filesystems/ How's 3.0.3?
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . Has anyone ever been able to mount an HPUX filesystem directly under Linux? I know about Samba and NFS, but I need to mount a disk directly, due to a 'crash'. Tried all the current fs modules including vxfs, to no avail. So tried to rip the disk with dd, but it's 4.3GB and reiser in 7.3 can't cope. (2GB max) and Win2k couldn't cope. (stopped at 2GB) So I've lost an opportunity I will not have again. When I try Suse8 again, I want to use a filesystem that CAN cope with =large= files. Ext3 is too slow. Is JFS stable yet? When will Reiser handle large files? You guys running Suse8/K3.0.3, any problems?

To your first question: No. You will need another machine running HPUX. You *could* export it from there using NFS and read that onto the Linux machine or Copy the stuff onto a local partition there and then mount your disc as a raw device and tar the entire copy to it. That could be then read under Linux if you get it right (risky) My understanding is that ext3 (or ext2) are not much slower than reiserfs, unless you have a very large number of files. -- opinions personal, facts suspect. http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html

Small shop. Not an option.

If I understand, it must be accessed by Samba or NFS, then make a new part on the UX drive (eh?), and tar to Linux? Not clear to me.
My understanding is that ext3 (or ext2) are not much slower than reiserfs, unless you have a very large number of files.
This's what everyone says. But in our actual use, Reiser is perceived to be a good measure faster. But we need larger filesizes than it offers. (4-5G) So what to use? - -- Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them they translate into their own language, and forthwith it is something entirely different. -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj1yTLwACgkQnQ18+PFcZJvKXwCdFKq/mbEszktQ7/szYXl57jJJ xIQAnjLjzxzdfzHZ4LJBNaOT8ZiXg2pe =bLwA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
