How do you read an IRIX cd using EFS
I am trying to read an IRIX cd that is in the EFS format using NetBSD 5.0.1
I added support for the EFS file system in the kernel and checked to see that pseudo-device vnd was in the conf file as well. I then built the kernel and installed it. I issued the command and it returned I thought this might be because the cd uses 512 byte blocks so I used dd to make an image of the disk. I then tried which does not return an error. Then I did and it returned Is there something I am missing, or is it impossible to read an IRIX cd in EFS format using NetBSD? If so, I finally have to switch to Linux. |

-t cd9660 was the first thing I tried. The I noticed the cd itself is stamped "Format: EFS"

dd did not report any errors, but I will give readcd a go as soon as I get back.

I made an image of the drive using readcd
I loaded into a pseudo-device with I then tried to mount the image using and now I get I am starting to think it is not possible to read IRIX EFS formatted cds under NetBSD, and I will have to use Linux |

Try:
Code:
cat /boot/config-2.6.24-16-generic | grep CONFIG_EFS_FS Code:
CONFIG_EFS_FS=m Code:
cat /boot/config-2.6.24-16-generic | grep CONFIG_SGI_PARTITION Code:
CONFIG_SGI_PARTITION=y Code:
mount -t efs -o loop /dev/cdrom /cdrom Good luck, tschüss |

What ho and welcome!
Just FYI, you are replying to a thread from the 2nd October 2009 Also, your instructions are for Linux, not NetBSD. This is a very different operating system. Your instructions will not work for NetBSD.
