mount FreeBSD HDD

[hirohitosan]

Hi there.

 

I have on my computer 2 HDD. One has Mandriva and the other FreeBSD.

How can I mount in Md2009 the FreeBSD HDD (ufs file system)?

 

thanks!

Have you tried:

 

mount -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/sdXX /mount_point

 

where sdXX is the BSD partition

Have you tried:

mount -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/sdXX /mount_point

# mount -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/sda2 /media/hd2/
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda2,
   missing codepage or helper program, or other error
   In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
   dmesg | tail  or so

and

# dmesg | tail
ufs was compiled with read-only support, can't be mounted as read-write

well then try:

 

mount -t ufs -o ro,ufstype=44bsd /dev/sda2 /media/hd2

 

to mount it read-only, as per dmesg message

[hirohitosan]

well then try:

mount -t ufs -o ro,ufstype=44bsd /dev/sda2 /media/hd2

I have the same error mesage and

 dmesg | tail

I think the problem is that BSD uses slices inside the normal DOS partitions, so /dev/sda2 probably contains more than one slice.

Do a:

dmesg|grep bsd

to find all slices

 

Also you might want to try ufstype=ufs2 instead of 44bsd
