I am trying to read data off of a SCSI hard disk connect to my linux machine. I am trying to get the data that I need off of the disk, and read it using some sort of reader. So far, my largest setback is HDD space. I wanted to image the whole disk onto the machine, but due to lack of HDD space, and the SCSI drive being 9GB, this is not economical. What I have done so far is using the dd command I have read about 1GB off of the disk, checked for strings and I see that there is a string the the file I want actually exists on the disk. I then am trying to use and ods2 reader to read the data, but I cannot get the to work correctly. When I try to read the directory [000000] on the image, it tells me the directory does not exits. So as of now, my options are to keep fiddling with the ods2 reader. Another option I have come up with is to image the drive to a tape disk, so I could access the data directly. The ODS-2 HDD will not mount correctly in Linux. I was also looking at a VAX simulator, but that is going to be last resort as I am on time constraints. If anyone has any information on reading or mounting an ODS-2 file system SCSI HDD on a Linux machine and correctly reading the data off of it, please let me know. The reason I was thinking of putting the data onto a tape drive was the it seems that a program, VMSCD, is supposed to be able to be able to read data off of any removable media, so that is also another option. If anyone can help, that would be great. Thanks. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
