[flashwebhost]

Hi,

I have a FreeBSD Cpanel server. I plan to move to Linux.

If i get OS reloaded on a second Hard Disk, will i able to mount the current FreeBSD HD on Linux and copy it ?

If yes, let me know the command to mount FreeBSD HD on Linux.

Thanks,

Yujin

You will likely need to compile UFS into the kernel. I do not remember if its in there. If it was freebsd 5.x - 6.x you can use:

mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/hdc1 /mnt


Keep in mind, password files are different so you cant use them.

It will be a readonly mount.
