Reading AIX drive. Yes, AIX. Ancient. Dinosaur. Old fart.

<< < (3/3)

MonMotha:
I would recommend that if you do attempt to forcibly mount the filesystem that you 1) make sure you have a backup image (duh), and 2) mount the filesystem readonly.  On linux, add "-o ro" to the mount command line.  This will tell the OS not to attempt any writes that could cause problems during the recovery process.

As for actually reading an ancient AIX filesystem, I'm not sure I can help you much.  If Linux and FreeBSD can't read it, you'll probably have to come up with either a dedicated user-mode tool or an ancient AIX system.
