Strange to ressurrect such an old thread that the OP seems to have disappeared from anyway...
Linux does not expect an MBR. In fact, by default, when you initialise disks for use by Veritas Volume Manager, it uses Sun disk labels (which surprised me), e.g.
Code:
Disk /dev/sdb8 (Sun disk label): 30 heads, 128 sectors, 55508 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 3840 * 512 bytes
Device Flag Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb8p3 u 0 55508 106575360 5 Whole disk
/dev/sdb8p8 u 0 55508 106575360 f Unknown
The endianness of the data on the filesystem is only an issue if you are trying to read it programmatically (i.e. reading multiple byte values), and can be fixed programmatically if desired... however ASCII will still be in the correct order.
Just that the Subject says.
I am looking for a C compiler for Linux x86 that will allow me to compile a C source code file and the resulting binary will be able to run on a Sparc running Solaris.
Thanks. (2 Replies)

Hi, I am wanting to get some input on an issue that I have encountered with Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy. When installing Linux & booting Linux it freezes almost all the time, I don't know if it is the shell or whatever, but after SILO, it goes wild of freezes, then rebooting all the time.

Hi,
I've been searching for answers for two days and didn't find any definite answers on building RAID1 on SPARC. The main problem was with SILO (Sparc Improved boot LOader): can it boot from RAID partition or not. So I just tried it and it works.
I've done this on Debian, but it should be... (0 Replies)
Hi Oracle Linux users,
You can probably guess from the title what the question is:
Does anyone know if Oracle Linux (the Unbreakable variety I think that is) comes in a
SPARC release or, if not, will there be one some time soon ?
Many thanks,

createhdf
createhdf(1) Emulators createhdf(1)NAME
createhdf - Create a blank IDE hard disk image in .hdf format
SYNOPSIS
createhdf [ -c ] [ -s ] cylinders heads sectors file
DESCRIPTION
createhdf creates a blank image of an IDE hard disk in .hdf format for use with Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulators.
OPTIONS -c specifies that the .hdf image should be created in `compact' mode, where only the low byte of every word is stored in the image.
This is useful for saving space if the hard disk image is for use with an interface which accesses only the low byte of every word.
-s specifies that the .hdf image should not be created as a sparse file. Normally, createhdf will attempt to create the hard disk image
as a `sparse file', where the operating system knows that the file consists mostly of zero bytes and fills those in without using
any space in the file. This option disables this. (There's nothing `magic' about this: if data is written to the file, it will take
up space just like any other data; it's only empty space which is synthesised by the operating system).
-v version
specifies the version of .hdf image to be created. Valid values are `1.0' for a version 1.0 file and `1.1' for a version 1.1 file.
Defaults to creating version 1.1 files.
cylinders
specifies the number of cylinders in the image.
heads specifies the number of heads in the image.
sectors
specifies the number of sectors in the image.
file specifies the file to which the image should be written.
BUGS
None known.
