Re: Mounting NetBSD partition on voidlinux

[Sagar Acharya <sagaracharya%tutanota.com@localhost>]

I have no clue on the wedges thing.

dmesg shows these errors while mounting.

ufs: ufs_fill_super(): fragment size 0 is not a power of 2
ufs: ufs_fill_super(): fragment size 8192 is too large
Thanking you

Found out that giving them a live Linux System to boot from USB media was the easiest way. Another option I considered was ufs2tools for Windows (https://ufs2tools.sourceforge.net/) but this seems unmaintained.
