Greetings,

we are migrating our product off of SCO UnixWare onto Linux 2.6. In order to do this effectively we need to be able to mount existing UnixWare disk slices and be able to mount the UnixWare vxfs filesystem readonly. I know Linux is supposed to have support for both UnixWare slices (CONFIG_UNIXWARE_DISKLABLE=y) and freevxfs 2.0, but, I cannot find any devices in /dev that may pertain to UnixWare slices, even though my 2.6 appears to be configured to have UNIXWARE slices support.

How does one go about mounting unixware slices on Linux, any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

1. you should use fdisk to find out the sclices;
2. you have to edit etc/fstab to mount the unixware partitions.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried using fdisk, but all I see is a GNU HURD or SYSV partition (primary), I don't see any unixware slices shown. My kernel does have the following configured:

CONFIG_UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL=y

I would presume that if Linux can see UnixWare slices that they will be represented in /dev somewhere. I don't see anything that comes close. For now I just want to mount these by hand using the mount cmd, I do not have a need to have them in /etc/fstab.

Have you been able to mount UnixWare slices on Linux?
