Hi there, I just wanted to mount on a Linux box (i586 / linux 2.0.30)
a scci disk (4GB) formatted on Solaris 2.5 (used as a boot disk for a
Force Computer CPU5V VME board = Sun SS 5).  I added "everything"
in the Linux kernel (UFS fs support and so on) but never succeeded in
mounting this disk. Even fdisk sees "garbage".... Help !!!

PS: plz post AMD mail reply =8->

To read opposite-endian UFS filesystems you need to enable support for
Sun disk labels and use the UFS code from 2.1.x (you can use it as a
module with 2.0.x quite happily).
