[comp.unix.ultrix] Problems addressing client RD54 disk

wouter@eurtrx.UUCP (Wouter Drinkwaard) (06/30/89)

I have configured a Vax station 2000 as a client of a Vax750
server, running Ultrix 2.3. The vax station has a RD54 disk.
The customized kernel includes the RD54 disk. Swapping is done
on the clients Rd54 disk. (I have created the necessary special
files for the clients swap device).

The VS2000 client boots over the network from the customized kernel
in the clients root area wonderfully well and is using its own disk
as swap device.

I can address the clients RD54 disk as a raw devive e.g. I can
run newfs, fsck and chpt on it. But problems arise when I want
to address the disk as a block device. If I try to mount a
partition on the clients disk I keep getting the message:

ufs_mount: /dev/rd0a on /mnt: operation not supported

Suggestions that would solve my problem would be most welcome!
