Hello,
I have the new free sco ODT5 (see www.sco.com).  And I have 3 questions.

1.  Is there a common decent (longfilename) filesystem that both linux
(2.0+) and sco understand.  (other than dos & sysv)
I would like to be able to share a /u or /home partition on one machine
with a multiboot.

2.  Can linux recognize sco partition "divisions"?  Sco uses a unix
partition (=gnu-hurd) which it then subdivides with the "divvy" utility.
divvy is like a dos extended partition with divvy 0=boot, 1=swap,
2=root, 3=/u(opt), and 6=recover.  divvy puts a divvy table at the
beginning of a partition that's been divvied.  (doesn't seem compatible
with dos ext partitions as far as recognition)

3.  Finally, is there a linux table for hd minor device bit
representation?  sco has one with 
bits  Description
7-6   disk (0-3)
5-3   partiiton (1-4)   101-active part, 110=dos part 
2-0   division  (0-6)   111=whole partition

With this table I can use mknod to access any partition / division -
does linux have something similar?

Thanks,
Joseph
