Mounting UFS disks under linux-alpha

Mounting UFS disks under linux-alpha

[IOS Group, Nottingham]

Dear List,

I want to mount some tru64 disks on alphas I have 
migrated from tru64 to linux-alpha but I find that 
it is not straight forward.

On one machine the format is ADFS which I don't think 
is supported under linux - is this correct?

On another the format is definitely UFS but I am still 
unable to mount the disk.  (I have got the ufs module
compiled and loaded into the system).

---under linux
>> lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
ufs                    85600   0  (unused)
ide-cd                 38688   0  (autoclean)
cdrom                  39032   0  (autoclean) [ide-cd]
.......
---

--- under tru64
>> cat /etc/fstab

/dev/rz6a        /              ufs rw 1 1
/proc            /proc  procfs rw 0 0
/dev/rz6g        /usr   ufs rw 1 2
/dev/rz6h        /opt   ufs rw 1 2
etc etc
---

When I try to mount any of the ufs partitions I get

mount -v -t ufs /dev/sdb1 /tmp_mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
       or too many mounted file systems


Any hints? Is there any way to probe a disk to find out what 
partitions are on it, do I have to load anyhting apart from
the ufs.o module (do I have to compile it into the kernel
instead).

Sorry about the lameness of these questions but it is driving
me mad and I can't find a simple definitive working answer
in the docs.


Thanks SA

  I dont think UFS under linux is so stable (even if it is mountable), 
recomand you to migrate to ext2,3 or reiserfs.
  Is possible to exist multiple version of UFS and yours to be unrecognizable
i dont know.
