Universal portable disk for unix
Hi,


I'm looking for one portable disk for unix to take, for example, data on solaris file system and put it on hp file system.

Any idea where can I find this?

Thanks a lot,


Sergio

Most USB thumb drives and such use a FAT32 file format. The mtools suite can often be used to copy files to and from these devices without specifjcally mounting them.

At a guess the most portable filesystem you could use would be CD-ROM format (hsfs on Solaris) because ISO 9660 or ISO 9660:1998 are more likely than any other filesystem to be recognized than anything else I can think of.

Reborg -- isn't the ISO 9660 format read only?
