How can I move a UFS disk from Ultrix to Unix (V3.2) ? I get the following errors when trying to fsck on the partition >IMPOSSIBLE INTERLEAVE=0 IN SUPERBLOCK >SET TO DEFAULT?

Clearly there is some problem with the rotational tables. How do I get this correct ? Why can I mount the disk on Ultrix with this problem ? The /etc/disktab entry is the same on both systems >zip100|IOMEGA ZIP Drive:\ >:ty=removable:dt=SCSI:ns#64:nt#2:nc#1536:\ >:oa#0:pa#196608:ba#8192:fa#1024:\ >:oc#0:pc#196608:bc#8192:fc#1024:\

ffs/ufs is slightly different between ULTRIX and DIGITAL UNIX. If you fix it up via fsck, ULTRIX won't be able to mount it. | |||||

you need to use the force switch and the read only switch. UFS can now only go from ULTRIX to DIGITAL UNIX. To mount it read/write on Digital UNIX, you need the "newer" ufs that the ULTRIX system can't mount. And if you leave it with the old ufs that ULTRIX can read/write then Digital UNIX requires read only. Catch-22 - Maybe someone in the filesystems group can explain the reasoning for this "feature".
