But then you're going to have to figure out how to make Yellow Dog read a partition written in little endian format. Presumably, this is an option to ext*'s mount(8). (Naive implementation is really simple and gets the job done just fine if what you want is simply access, not maximum speed; just use bswap(3) a lot.) It *might* be something that you need to rebuild your kernel to get endianity-independent FS support. (It is under NetBSD, but these components are more modularized under Linux, so I'd expect that, if it's not already enabled, changing modules.conf and rebooting would be enough. Note that rmmod and insmod on your file system support module will probably not work. :^>) -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
