slice 8: ALT SEC/TRK permissions: UNMOUNTABLE VALID starting sector: 66 length: 2048 I've briefly scanned the links you provided and here's my decidedly non-expert opinion: I think the system feedback you're getting is accurate. I think it is telling you it 'sees' what appear to be valid partitions but they can't be mounted because support for the filesystem contained within them isn't available... not compiled into the kernel and no module loaded.
Thanks, The kernel module is freevxfs I tried # modprobe freevxfs # modprobe -l freevxfs | grep freevxfs alias vxfs freevxfs
Regarding this statement:
From http://www.linux.com/howtos/Filesystems-HOWTO-9.shtml I have mounted them before. I just can not figure out why I can not mount it now.
Are you saying you've mounted these specific partitions before, or are you saying... in a generic sense... you've mounted VxFS filesystems under Linux before. You have to distinguish between supported and non-supported (by GPL'd tools) implementations of VxFS. That's kind of what this paragraph is alluding to:
I installed the kernel source for the latest kernel and did the steps mentioned in my first email. It built the freevxfs module and installed it in /lib/modules/2.6.13-15.8-default/kernel/fs/freevxfs/freevxfs.ko
Of course, I could be all wet here, but I've been doing this stuff a long time and that's how I'd interpret the data I've seen thus far.
I have mount UnixWare 7.1.4 partitions on SUSE 9.3 and 9.2. I thought I
had also done it on SUSE 10.0, but the drive I used is now 10.1 RC3 so I
can not recheck it. I had followed the same steps.
Thanks,
