[parisc-linux] UreStoreOptical 20xt

[Arnaud.ATOCH@oecd.org]

Ok, thanks for coming back .

I've learn a lot and here are my conclusions :

- hpfs is OS/2 specific.
- The HP-UX fs patch came from parisc tree and did it into Linus tree
(2.4.8).
- HP-UX fs support in in the ufs module.
- Correct syntaxe for mount an HP-UX fs under Linux is : mount -t ufs -o
ufstype=hp /dev/sda /mnt/opti
- LVM fs are not so easy to handle and for now no success.

So the HP Surestore Optical 20xt is fully functionnal under Linux parisc or
x86.

Again thanks for you excellent work.

IIRC, should only need hpfs (which also depends on ufs?..dunno anymore)
hfs == Apple's Hiearchial File System.

dunno.  But didn't that patch come from the parisc-linux tree?

Anyway...you might check if those disks are under LVM control.
If so, you'll have to convert those to non-LVM storage using HPUX.
The archives for parisc-linux mailing list have a discussion on HP's
LVM issues.

BTW, You might also try to explicitly specify the hpfs type.
