Has anyone tried running UHC SVR4 with a root partition whose file system
type is UFS instead of S5? The manual does not recommend this. However,
I would like to know if anyone has tried it.
cheers!

I have added an IDE disk to my system and put linux on it.
Up until now the sytem has been running a SCSI based SVR4. I have 2 SVR4
scsi disks.
After rebuilding the kernel with system V filesystem support I get an error
indicating that I have an unsupported file system when mounting the sysv
disks. Fdisk indicates that the partions are labeled as "GNU_HURD".
I have also added ufs (readonly) support.
The disks have a perfectly good SVR4 filesystem which has functioned under
unix for years. SVR4 supports both s5 and ufs, which they call the
Berkeley Fast File System. I believe these disks were configured with
ufs.
Does linux support this ufs? Do I need to reconfigure the partiton table
with fdisk to satisfy linux? Would this reconfiguration confuse SVR4?
Thanks for any advice.
