Hello.

I am trying to move some data from an NCR UNIX box to a LINUX box.

The data that I want to move resides on a vxfs partition on the NCR box. This is the only partition on the machine and takes up the entire drive, there are no native utilities that will allow me to resize the partition and create a partition of another type.

My idea so far has been to create a LINUX boot disk with freevxfs support and boot the NCR machine with this disk, mount the vxfs partition with `mount -t vxfs <partition> <mount_point>` and then configure PLIP to transfer the data accross to the LINUX box, (there is no LAN card in the NCR machine and no TCP/IP software installed on it), via the parallel port.

I have created the boot disk but the mount command is unable to mount the vxfs partition, from browsing www I get the impression that NCR have something called "vxfs lite" on some of their machines so am guessing this is different from regular vxfs!!?

Does anyone know of perhaps another, smarter way of getting the data accross, (serial will be too slow).

Thanks in advance,
