I am trying to move a client to SUSE Linux 10.0 from SCO UnixWare 7.1.4.
I did the following to be able to mount a UnixWare 7 drive on my SUSE
Linux 10.0 system.

cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.13-15.8/
make cloneconfig
make modules_prepare
make menuconfig
make xconfig
make
make modules
make install
make modules_install
shutdown -g0 -y -i6

I am able to see it....

...
SCSI device sdb: 17773524 512-byte hdwr sectors (9100 MB)
SCSI device sdb: drive cache: write through
SCSI device sdb: 17773524 512-byte hdwr sectors (9100 MB)
SCSI device sdb: drive cache: write through
sdb: sdb1
sdb1: <unixware: sdb5 sdb6 sdb7 >
Attached scsi disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0
...
vxfs: ivalid olt magic number
vxfs: unable to read olt

Then I try to mount the drive with all of the below and I get...

AOS:/boot # mount -r -t vxfs /dev/sdb1 /unixware7

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
vxfs: ivalid olt magic number
vxfs: unable to read olt

All of these give me ...
AOS:/boot # mount -r -t vxfs /dev/sdb5 /unixware7
AOS:/boot # mount -r -t vxfs /dev/sdb6 /unixware7
AOS:/boot # mount -r -t vxfs /dev/sdb7 /unixware7

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb5,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

vxfs: WRONG superblock magic
vxfs: ivalid olt magic number
vxfs: unable to read olt

I can take the drive out and put it back in a UnixWare 7.1.4 system and I
am able to mount and unmount it. I know the drive is marked clean. What
am I doing wrong? I am trying to move this customer to SUSE Linux from
SCO UnixWare 7.1.4.

Any ideas?

thanks,
