[yasser202]

Hi all

I have an NCR UNIX hard disk I need to mount it on a Linux box
The FS Type in fdisk on linux is '63' for the partition
How can i mount on my linux box ?

Try mounting it as type sysv

[yasser202]

Fail to mount as sysv
[root@yasser yasser]# modprobe sysv
[root@yasser yasser]# mount -t sysv /dev/sda3 /mnt/ncr
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

[root@yasser yasser]# dmesg |tail -1
VFS: unable to find oldfs superblock on device sda3

[rcgreen]

That error means it isn't sysv. The man page for the mount
command lists the supported filesystem types. You may
have to try them all.

There are a number of file system types that linux CAN support, but doesn't out-of-the-box. You would need to modify the kernel to support them either with build-in drivers, or loadable drivers. One example is JFS (Journaled File System), or XFS. An example of this is an embedded ARM Linux system I'm working on. I needed support for CIFS/SMB file systems, and it did not as delivered, so I had to add it to the kernel. Once I modified and built the kernel, I was able to mount Windows shares without difficulty. The same goes for this, I think. Linux pretty much supports just about every Unix file system ever known, but not necessarily by default.
