Well, the subject speaks for itself; how does one go about making a UFS partition in a Linux environment? I don't recall seeing it as an option in my version of fdisk (I'll have to check again when I go home )

You would do a
mount -t ufs /dev/hda* /mnt/somewhere

First check if UFS support is present with a
'cat /proc/filesystems' - if it isn't you need to load the kernel modules with 'insmod/modprobe ufs' (that's insmod, or modprobe)
Then check it is loaded with lsmod.
Then it's like mounting any other partition, specifying your filesystem with the -t flag.
If you forget where the partition is (it happens) you can do 'fdisk -l' although you probably knew that.

Viel Gluck.

Nope, i'm not german.

Thanks Tux, but I'm well aware of how one mounts an FS/share/volume/partition/etc. I asked *how* to *make* the UFS partition. Oh well, it doesn't really mater now. I've about had it with trying Darwin - it's just a lost cause.

btw.. anyone who is going to mention parted and fdisk, yes, i've alredy tried. Thanks anyway.

Oh, sorry man, I should learn to read.

As far as my knowledge goes UFS uses a partition Id of 83, which unfortunately is the same as the one for Linux swap. So I *guess* you would have to create what fdisk believes is a linux swap and use mkfs or other tool to put the UFS filesystem onto it.

lol, it's all good.

I've given upon it so far. guess I'll have to wait for the next version of gtoatser (xcdroast is giving me hell).

I'm not sure what relevance CD burning has to this, but gcombust is good.

CD burning is relavant because this is how one installs an OS... one takes an image, burns it to CD, then boots

Thanks for the title.
