. 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? Any at all? - --
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
