Don't FFS and UFS refer to the same file system, the Berkeley Fast File System, also known as 4.2bsd? In my "studies" according to a data recovery problem I found them used in similar ways. % ll /sbin/fsck_[uf4]* -r-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 87020 Aug 24 2008 /sbin/fsck_4.2bsd* -r-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 87020 Aug 24 2008 /sbin/fsck_ffs* -r-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 87020 Aug 24 2008 /sbin/fsck_ufs* At least on FreeBSD, they're all the same program. -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: filesystem compatibility between FreeBSD and OpenBSD
something I wonder about I know OpenBSD and FreeBSD both have different versions of the "UFS" filesystems (FreeBSD newfs(8) -O option, OpenBSD newfs(8) -O) has someone tried to use all combinations of all options to see if they work? It's funny that OpenBSD's manpage says it uses FFS, not UFS -- when even I thought it said UFS before I looked it up.

It just fails with an "Invalid argument", so I think it's not able to recognize the OpenBSD FS. I can't do it the other way around, because I can't (yet) find the OpenBSD driver for my AMCC (3ware) 9650-4 controller (FreeBSD's twa driver). Otherwise, I'm curious if maybe OpenBSD count moount the FreeBSD FS. No longer truly important, because i'm using an extra machine as a waypoint for a transfer. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkn5FhEACgkQz62J6PPcoOlikgCfUmLdhYXrsu7/1EE6aZL1mH91 DdkAn0JEGxkyRyBQdOGO9kgEft0mzm8T =kibv -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Yes, there is, and it even isn't a file system. It's tar. You can easily create a tar archive and transfer it from device to device, maybe using a "transfer hard disk". I know this sounds stupid, but it works. The disk just needs to be formatted, it can be a hard disk, an optical disc, even an USB thumb drive, or a floppy disk. Doesn't matter. Just format it. Then: % tar cvf /dev/ on the source OS. On the target OS, simply run this command: % tar xvf /dev/ I could employ this method successfully to transfer data between different UNIXens and Linusi. :-) -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
