Mount UFS HardDisk

I am running the latest slitaz cooking upgraded version on a machine that has two hard drives, one with debian 6.0 and one with netbsd.  The debian drive is listed in the mountbox application as having an ext2 type file system, and it mounts without issue using pcmanfm.  The netbsd drive is listed as having a ufs file system that is unix file system.  It does not mount with pcmanfm in slitaz and gives the same error messages as given when trying to mount an hpfs file system created by os/2 (ecomstation) on another computer.  I guess this is another example of a file system not supported by slitaz.  I am posting this for general information, but any comments are appreciated.  Thanks.

Quite Possible. It might be another example of a file system not supported by Busybox's mount command or it could be an issue with HAL/Udev. For example I can't mount DVDs or empty CDs through PCManFM, but they work fine if I mount them manually with the mount command.

tux@slitaz:~$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i -e ufs -e hpfs

# CONFIG_HPFS_FS is not set

# CONFIG_UFS_FS is not set

Requires building the modules or recompile the kernel for support.

When you see =m meaning a module was compiled :

tazpkg search-pkgname modulename

for the linux-xxx.tazpkg

Example:

If you wanted to mount a samba share install linux-cifs.tazpkg and load the cifs module.

Re: Mount UFS HardDisk

Yikes, thanks for the information, mojo, but building modules or recompiling the kernel for added support seems a bit beyond my capabilities.  Nevertheless, I appreciate the interest and information.  Thanks, mojo and trixar_za.
