Hi to everyone , my name is Alex and i am a newbie …
I am trying to mount a hd from and old Alcatel 4400 ( unix system ) in my opensuse 11.1 in order to recover some information from the disk.
Well i tried to many things but nothing yet , i will describe all the steps i followed :
1.- plug the hd through the usb box
2.- fdisk -l :
*Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9729 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xc24b77fb
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 2550 20480008+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 * 2941 9729 54532642+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 2551 2940 3132675 82 Linux swap / Solaris
Partition table entries are not in disk order
Disk /dev/sdb: 6007 MB, 6007357440 bytes
15 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12416 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 945 * 512 = 483840 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x02d3db85
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb3 * 1 12411 5864197 63 GNU HURD or SysV
/dev/sdb4 12412 12416 2362+ 62 Unknown*
3.- modprobe ufs
to verify → **lsmod | grep ufs
**
*ufs 68128 0 *
4.- cd /media —> mkdir unix
5.- try to mount the disk :
mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=old,ro /dev/sdb3 /media/unix
*mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb3,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
*
6.- check the dmesg
ufs_read_super: bad magic number
After this i can continue , i try different options in the ufstype , like 44bsd , ufs2 , etc …
When i type dmesg | grep sdb ,i get :
sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] 11733120 512-byte hardware sectors: (6.00 GB/5.59 GiB)
sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off

sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive cache: write through

Could you help me with this situation ?
