Hi, I have just upgraded my Sun Ultra5 to Woody_r1-ish state. Everything's working - XFree86-4.1.0woody, devfsd, ext3, enlightenment, sound, etc. Kernel has the netfilter-bridge-0.0.7 patch. Finally my Ultra5 is as good as the PCs.
My problem is - I can't write to the UFS SunOS-7 partition. The kernel has been configured with CONFIG_UFS_FS=m and CONFIG_UFS_WRITE=y. I can mount the partiton read-write and copy files from it. But when I try to write to it, ( with cp or dd ) I get a strange error message - 'cannot create regular file XXXX: read-only file system'. 'mount' shows it to be mounted rw on /sundisk; and the ufs.o module is loaded. I tried to write to it as root too - but same message. I have been regularly reading/writing to the UFS partition with the previous Debian-potato installation before. And secondly, Can anybody tell me how to shutdown from an accidental SunOS boot without being root or pulling the plug? - Arvind R.
