Mount freebsd 5.x disk on linux 2.6.18 problem

I just changed over from freebsd to opensuse 10.2 linux. I have my mp3
drive I need to mount on my new opensuse server. When I try to mount it I
get the following errors.

build:~ # mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sdb4 /export
build:~ # ls /export/samba
ls: cannot access /export/samba: Input/output error
build:~ # ls /export/
ls: cannot access /export/ftp: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /export/samba: Input/output error
ls: cannot access /export/other: Input/output error

I've tried using 44bsd, ufs2, 5xbsd, old for the fstype.
Can anybody help me get this mounted correctly?

fdisk info:
build:~ # fdisk /dev/sdb4
This disk has both DOS and BSD magic.
Give the 'b' command to go to BSD mode.

Re: Mount freebsd 5.x disk on linux 2.6.18 problem

Hi, Eric:

I am not sure what a 'mp3' drive is, but I will assume that it appears as a
USB thumbdrive or USB external harddrive or similar.

Your posted information from 'fdisk' indicates that there is a /dev/sd4
partition and it may be formatted as DOS.

Have you tried to mount this device/partition as type 'auto' ?

mount /dev/sda4 /export

-or-

mount -t auto /dev/sda4 /export

Did you format /dev/sda4 with BSD with filesystem type 'ufs'?

HTH, Chuck

Re: Mount freebsd 5.x disk on linux 2.6.18 problem

I ended up finding a emergency boot disk for freebsd and mounted it
and transfered the data off the drive. I'm just going to format the
/dev/sda4 with ext3.
The drive was formated as a ufs format. For some reason my linux box
was having issues reading the partition. In any case I resolved the
issue.
