Accessing a Unix Hard drive
I have a UNIX system that got corrupted and could not boot any longer. I have the hard drive in a external case and hooked up to another system booting off of a Linux 3.8 distro. When I try to access the drive it gives me the following error.
Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified
Can anyone assist? And if so please reply as if you are talking to the newb that i am

What filesystem is it? You can specify the filesystem when you mount with the "-t" option.

The hard drive is from a system running Unix 5.0.6 and from looking my google search my best guess is the FS is SCO. I could very well be wrong but that was all the info I could get.

UFS (I beleive that is the FS SCO Unix uses) is extremely hard to mount and write to in Linux. It's experimental, and I doubt it's enabled in the default Knoppix Linux kernel.
