Mount HTFS under linux

['chris']

hi

Howto mount HTFS of SCO unix under linux?
BTW I'm using sidux with kernel 2.6.34.

You would first need to check and see if SIDUX supports mounting HTFS filesystems.

From what I have found while searching via Google, it does not appear promising.

I've tried to mount HTFS using sidux with 2.6.34 kernel, but it doesn't work:

root@sidux:/home/sidux# mount -t sysv /dev/sda3 /mnt
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

Hi chris,

The SCO HTFS filesystem is *not* the same thing as the "sysv" filesystem on Linux.

As far as I know, there is NO WAY to mount any of the proprietary SCO filesystem types (HTFS and EAFS) in any modern Linux distribution.

The only vendor that held a license for SCO filesystem code was CrosStor, which was apparently acquired by EMC. You might contact an EMC sales representative and ask him/her if they have a product that would help you...
