Hi, I need to mount a UFS (Unix File System) partition from an external device (ie, live cd). I've seen the kernel-2.6.x-x.x.x.xxx.plus.c4 has UFS support and I've several questions about: ?How I know what FS are supported by my kernel? ?Is CentOS LiveCD edition builded with UFS support? ?Is there another way to get UFS support without the complete installation of a new kernel? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Switching kernel is not hard, yum install ... edit your grub.conf and reboot. /Peter> Thanks.-------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
