I've been trying to setup a system with both Linux and FreeBSD, and
to get them to read each other's partitions. I had FreeBSD create
three BSD-partitions inside a slice (aka a real mbr partition) and
install itself in two of them with its native UFS filesystem...
When booting Linux, the kernel finds the partitions correctly:
nostromo:~ $ dmesg | grep hda
hda: QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM3200A, 3067MB w/76kB Cache, LBA, CHS=779/128/63
hda: hda1 hda2 < hda5 hda6 hda7 > hda3 < hda8 hda9 hda10 >
^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
DOS FreeBSD partitions linux partitions
in one primary slice in an extended slice
but when I try to mount them, I get this:
nostromo:~ $ sudo mount -t ufs /dev/hda7 /mnt2
Dec 19 04:52:41 nostromo kernel: ufs_read_super: fs_nindir 2048 != 3
Dec 19 04:52:41 nostromo kernel: ufs_read_super: fucking Sun blows me
Dec 19 04:52:41 nostromo kernel: ufs_read_super: fs last mounted on "/mnt/usr"
Dec 19 04:52:41 nostromo kernel: ufs_read_super: fs needs fsck
Dec 19 04:52:41 nostromo kernel: ufs_read_inode: file too big ino 2 dev 3/7, faking size
Dec 19 04:52:41 nostromo kernel: ufs_read_super: inopb 64
Dec 19 04:52:47 nostromo kernel: ufs_statfs
Dec 19 04:52:47 nostromo kernel: ufs_statfs
then cd'ing into /mnt2 doesn't find anything (not even . and ..), df
gives completely insane sizes, and once you've been in the directory and
tried an ls, it won't even let you umount the thing ("/dev/hda7 is busy"
even tho it's not the current dir of anything).
Any clues? The kernel is:
nostromo:/proc $ cat version
Linux version 2.0.26 (root@nostromo.ens.fr) (gcc version 2.7.2.1) #1 Wed Nov 27 23:37:48 MET 1996
nostromo:/proc $ cat filesystems
ext2
nodev proc
ufs
