Re: mount UFS partition on CentOS 5.

["Daniel Bruno" <danielbrunos@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tru,

I installed rpmforge, dkms and dmks-ufs, how you can see below:

[root@fw ~]# rpm -qva |grep dkms
dkms-2.0.20.4-1.el5.rf
dkms-ufs-2.6.18_8.1.8.el5-3.c5

[root@fw ~]# lsmod |grep ufs
ufs                    64644  0

but I still can't mount the partition:

# mount -t ufs -o ro,ufstype=44bsd /dev/hdb1 /part
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

in the dmes, show this error:


ufs_read_super: bad magic number

http://people.centos.org/tru/dkms/RPMS/ has the ufs driver
but you need to install RPMforge's dkms package to rebuild the
module for your kernel version.
see http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories

the mount command would be somehting like
mount -t ufs -o ro,ufstype=44bsd /dev/hdb1 /mnt/bsd

Cheers,

Tru
