Xenix and linux
I only need to copy the data that is in the xenix machine. I tryed to mount a dos 3.3 hd but I don't know how to do this in xenix.
I try to mount using the sysv filesystem type but the error persists (mount -t sysv /dev/hdc1 /mnt/xxxx).
Thank you very much for any help!!!

Exchange Public Keys.
You will be able to exchange any files needed with a simple scp command.

Re: Xenix and linux
Ok, going by the documentation (/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-*/filesystems/sysv.txt), try mounting the filesystem with a forced type:
mount -t xenix /dev/hdc1 /mnt/xxx
If that fails, then just see if it can recognize the partitions.
sfdisk -l /dev/hdc
If you see a list of partitions, then see if Linux can recognize the magic:
file -s /dev/hdc1
...
Having a look through the magic info, i'm not actually sure what it should report, and I don't have one here to check, sorry, but it should say something reasoanble (or just 'data').
some things to try..

Re: Xenix and linux
If I try to mount the partition, the error persists. I try to mount with -t sysv, after loading the module, and nothing. I don't know what to do!!!!
Thank for any help!!!

Re: Xenix and linux
Don't panic!
Hex dump the partition or write a little prog that looks at chunks of 1024 bytes at a time. Look for a 1024 byte block that has 0x2b5544 as the second to last 32 bit int (i.e. offset 1016 bytes in) and 1, 2 or 3 as the last 32 bit int (1020 bytes in). If the last byte is 3 the fs has 2048 byte blocks and I think your SOL (Linux doesn't handle it).
That block is the superblock. Make a note of the offset into the partition it starts at. Subtract 1024 to get the offset the partition needs to start at for Linux to see the fs.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO HACK THE PARTITION TABLE!
Mount using a loop device to adjust the start of the block device by
mount -t xenix -o loop,offset=
If you still can't get it to work there are two options:
1. Copy /dev/hdXX to one or more files, edit out the chunks you need and paste them together (with luck they're not massively fragmented)
2. Find a data recovery specialist :-)
