mounting aix disk under different OS
hi,
is that possible?
i installed one disk of a old rs/6000 in a linux machine.
the problem seems to be the partition layout.
linux fdisk tells me that aix disklabels are not supported,
so the problem seems to be the partition layout, not the filesystem.
does anybody know a way to access the data on a aix disk from a different OS?

thanks
alex

tables.
If the filesystem or partition is found, the device name will be printed on stdout.
The complete overview about filesystems and partitions you can get for example by
lsblk --fs
partx --show <disk>
blkid
