I found this posting on the discussion list. I have an old AIX RS 6000 machine that seems to have died recently, and I was wondering if I could yank its drives and mount them using another OS.
Linux apparently has JFS support, but from the posting below they are incompatible. Someone at work told me that OpenBSD or NetBSD should be able to mount these filesystems. I've also come across a FreeBSD JFS port on sourceforge. http://sourceforge.net/projects/jfs4bsd Any idea if there is a way to access the old AIX JFS disks short of finding another AIX machine? Thanks for any responses.

No, JFS for AIX and Linux use different on-disk formats. :^( > Thanks > JD Thanks, Shaggy -- David Kleikamp IBM Linux Technology Center _______________________________________________ Jfs-discussion mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/mailman/listinfo/jfs-discussion
