- ufs-0.3.1.1.s.tar.gz
-
- This is the source for the Unix File System (ufs) for Linux kernels
- 1.3.x. This version, 0.3.1.1, is able to mount NEXTSTEP filesystems
- READ_ONLY from Linux. WRITING is not possible.
-
- ufs-0.2 was developed by Yossi Gottlieb, 0.3nx by Bruno Haible
- added support for NEXTSTEP filesystems (floppy and hard disk). This
- version, 0.3.1.1, works for kernels >=1.3.x.
-
- This is without any warranty. It works fine for me (kernel version
- 1.3.23, at the moment) with NEXTSTEP 3.2 and 3.3 partitions on two
- SCSI disks. There seem to be problems with symbolic links on UFS
- filesystems.
-
-
- REQUIREMENTS:
-
- This patch should work with Linux kernel 1.3.x. For kernels 1.1
- and 1.2, please use ufs-0.3-NeXT.
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- unpack ufs-0.3.1.1.Linux.s.tar.gz in the directory _below_ your
- Linux kernel source (e.g. /usr/src, if your kernel sources are in
- /usr/source/linux). Then run the patch ufs-0.3.1.1.patch with 'patch
- <ufs-0.3.1.1.patch'. Now you're ready to build your kernel from
- scratch. You'll have to reconfigure the kernel and enable ufs
- support. Hopefully a 'make dep;make clean;make config' followed by
- 'make' or so will do. If you're unsure about rebuilding and installing
- a new kernel, please ask a Linux wizard.
-
-
- USAGE:
-
- After you've booted the new kernel with ufs support enabled, you
- should be able to mount NEXTSTEP partitions with 'mount -t ufs
- ...'. Note that Linux has a different numbering scheme for the
- partitions, you might check with fdisk.
-
-
- Feel free to contact me if you have problems with the installation,
- but don't expect to much help from me ;-)
