errors re-mounting external drive
i was transferring data between 2 usb drives. rebooted at one point, could mount one drive fine, but not the other (the case on 2 different computers, macppc OBSD 4.6 and i386 OBSD 4.6).
at connection: Code:

so, if my above assumption has been a gross error, is there a way to salvage the data on the disk? |

You cannot share UFS/FFS filesystems betweens systems of different byte order (endian), so i386 and macppc are incompatible.
I'm not sure of the limitations of ext2, but you may try that.. alternatively you may need to use FAT32 with tape archives. |
