Re: Converting or Reading UFS?
I have 4 large (120- 200 Gig) hard drives server. The server died and I'm no longer using I can get the data off these drives? - Convert UFS to any other mountable and OS X? If so, where? I thought maybe Ghost, but sector copies, which are not readable by Ghost isn't OS X capable of reading UFS? ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

However, MacOS X keeps filesystem data in network byte order (aka big-endian); I'm not sure whether it knows how to understand a FreeBSD UFS filesystem, which most probably uses native little-endian byte order. It may still be worth a try. Otherwise, the best bet is to mount these drives on a FreeBSD box long enough to either rsync the data to some other machine, or take a backup using tar or dump. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Converting or Reading UFS?
Hey= Guys, I have 4 large (120- 200 Gig) hard drives= that were used in my 5.1 server. The server died and I'm no longer using= FreeBSD. Any idea how I can get the data off these drives? - Convert UFS to any other mountable and= readable format XP, Linux or OS X? If so, where? I thought maybe Ghost, but= it will only allow sector copies, which are not readable by Ghost= Explorer... - Mount these drives in VMWare FreeBSD 5.1= session via USB 2.0? If so, how can I do this? Is there a simple automount= app that will scan and mount available partitions in Gnome or KDE? I'm able= to see the da0 device show up in the terminal when I plug in the device,= but how can I tell what the partitioning scheme is? And how can I mount= them? - If I re-install 5.1 on a spare box, I'm= still stuck with dealing with how to view the partitions of these hard= drives and mounting them appropriately... Maybe I'm going about this all wrong... If= I throw a previously partitioned hd in a FreeBSD 5.1 box, is there an easy= way to mount and view the data on it? Can I tell what type of formatting= was used? It will be either UFS or NTFS...
