I need to transfer some files from sparc64 -current
box onto amd64 9.1-RELEASE laptop.
The amd64 laptop has no network connection yet,
so I'm trying to achive this with a USB flash drive.
The problem is that I always end up with
# mount /dev/da0p1 /mnt/
mount: /dev/da0p1: Invalid argument
#
If I do newfs on the sparc64 box, then I can't
mount it on the amd64 box, and vice versa.
I tried just "newfs /dev/da0", and using gpart,
e.g.:
# gpart show /dev/da0
=> 34 4029373 da0 GPT (1.9G)
34 2048 1 freebsd-ufs (1.0M)
2082 4027325 - free - (1.9G)
#
and then "newfs /dev/da0p1", or similar,
but no luck.
I tried sparc64 VTOC8 partition scheme too - no help.
I can mount the device and use it as expected,
i.e. copy files to/from it on either box, but
the other box doesn't seem to understand the file
system.
I tried loading various modules in desperation,
e.g. on the sparc64 side:
# kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 9 0xc0000000 a80e58 kernel
2 1 0x101bca000 104000 geom_part_mbr.ko
3 1 0x101cce000 110000 geom_label.ko
4 1 0x101dde000 108000 geom_part_gpt.ko
#
but still no use.
Am I missing something simple?
Thanks
Anton
