OK, covered this briefly before.
Have a client (new client) who has a SCO 3.2 box running on a Cyrix 40MHz 486
which has been their server for the last 12 years. (This is a trucking
company) powering dumb terminals.
We have a new box ready to go in it's place, but we need to copy data off of
old. Since it's EFS File system (not SYSV or HURD) we can't mount it through
Linux. So, our plan was to login to the SCO box, and mount a 2GB FAT16 SCSI
drive. OS sees it, but it won't mount.
Tried
mkdev hd
mkdev dos (which starts a kernel recompile for second HDD support and gives
DOS support.. done this)
The root drive, ID0 which is the drive that was in it, the 2G we put in is ID2.
Preformatted FAT16.
The trick is, we are struggling to figure out what SCO 3.2 calls SCSI ID2, so
we're unsure of what the hell the mount command is, as normal l inux mount
commands fall on def ears in SCO 3.2.
Anyone have some thoughts?
Did you try to configure the Kernel as I sent to the other guy on the
linux machine?
UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL=Y
SYSV_FS=Y
UFS_FS=Y
Should give you the ability to read the SCO partitions in a linux machine.
