Mounting UFS disks under linux-alpha

Dear List,

I want to mount some tru64 disks on alphas I have
migrated from tru64 to linux-alpha but I find that
it is not straight forward.

On one machine the format is ADFS which I don't think
is supported under linux - is this correct?

On another the format is definitely UFS but I am still
unable to mount the disk. (I have got the ufs module
compiled and loaded into the system).

---under linux
>> lsmod
Module Size Used by Not tainted
ufs 85600 0 (unused)
ide-cd 38688 0 (autoclean)
cdrom 39032 0 (autoclean) [ide-cd]
.......

---

--- under tru64 >> cat /etc/fstab

/dev/rz6a / ufs rw 1 1 /proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 /dev/rz6g /usr ufs rw 1 2 /dev/rz6h /opt ufs rw 1 2 etc etc ---

When I try to mount any of the ufs partitions I get

mount -v -t ufs /dev/sdb1 /tmp_mnt mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, or too many mounted file systems

Any hints? Is there any way to probe a disk to find out what partitions are on it, do I have to load anyhting apart from the ufs.o module (do I have to compile it into the kernel instead).

Sorry about the lameness of these questions but it is driving me mad and I can't find a simple definitive working answer in the docs.

Thanks SA
