No version of OSR5 supports FAT32. Or NTFS. Unless your version of
Linux supports one of OSR5's native filesystems, FAT16 is probably
your only choice.


Thanks Stephen
I guess I should have checked a little closer. Well I will give fat16 a try. The 2gb limit shouldn't be that hard to work around. I am really not sure what OSR5 native FSs linux (debian-stable) would support.



See http://aplawrence.com/SCOFAQ/scotec1.html#linuxfs

Also, that subject has been discussed in CUSM before. See the posting by John Elliot dated Tues, Feb 7 2006 10:12 am. He suggests Linux can read an AFS filesystem but not EAFS or HTFS. You may need sco_fs patches for Linux in order for Linux to recognise an EAFS filesystem.
