[SDBUG] Mount to FreeBSD HDD

[Joseph A. Kitzman]

I'm confused.  If you're running 2.6.11 you shouldn't have any trouble 
mounting UFS1 partitions.  UFS2 is a little different, you can only mount 
that read only.

So if you simply want your two operating systems to share file system(s), 
that's easily done.  If you use UFS you shouldn't have to do any kernel 
recompiles, just make sure you're using the proper mount args in Lunix.

For UFS2: mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/hda8 /mnt
For UFS1: mount -t ufs -o ufstype=44bsd /dev/hda8 /mnt

If you are in BSD and have an ext2 filesystem, you have no choice but to 
rebuild your kernel with the ext2fs module.  To my knowledge ext3 is not 
supported, so don't go there.


Now, if you intend to "put" Lunix and BSD on the SAME file systems, that's 
going to be a bit of work.  I can think of a few ways you can do it, but 
none of them will be easy.


Hopefully this helps you mount your 4 HDDs in either OS.  Beyond that, you 
may be wading into deeper water than you'd like.
