Rhapsody File System Mounting
Posted by: mxmels on 2023-09-20 23:08:22
Hiya! I've got an IO challenged machine I'm using to do Rhapsody DR2 shenanigans with, so I was wondering if I could mount the SSD in another machine to copy files to? X86 Rhapsody's UFS doesn't seem to play nicely with...well, anything! And I haven't been able to get Rhapsody to recognize other file systems. Anybody know if rhapsody can mount filesystems other than its own? Is there any way I can have another OS mount and write to the rhapsody drive? Thanks!

NetBSD can definitely mount the Apple variant of UFS as offered on OSX through Tiger. Should work for Rhapsody too though I will have to check to confirm. Also covers endian swapping (ppc filesystem was big endian). You'd need to compile a custom kernel for endian independent mounting (FFS_EI) and unless on ppc for Apple_UFS too though.
