2001-05-08 Thread Peter Billson
Hello all, Can anyone tell me how (or even if it is possible) to mount a Sun UFS drive (SunOS 5.5.1) under Linux (2.2.19) as read-write? I have tried mount -w -t ufs -o ufstype=sun /dev/sda1 /mnt/scsi but it mounts read only. The drive is in the localhost and I am booting off a Linux floppy.
