From d27d7a9a7838587fcdcc6f2b042f5610eb4984a1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Stewart Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 14:42:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ufs: permit mounting of BorderWare filesystems I recently had to recover some files from an old broken machine that was running BorderWare Document Gateway. It's basically a drop in web server for sharing files. From the look of the init process and using strings on of a few files it seems to be based on FreeBSD 3.3. The process turned out to be more difficult than I imagined, but to cut a long story short BorderWare in their wisdom use a nonstandard magic number in their UFS (ufstype=44bsd) file systems. Thus Linux refuses to mount the file systems in order to recover the data. After a bit of hunting I was able to make a quick fix to fs/ufs/super.c in order to detect the new magic number. I assume that this number is the same for all installations. It's quite easy to find out from ufs_fs.h. The superblock sits 8k into the block device and the magic number its 1372 bytes into the superblock struct. # dd if=/dev/sda5 skip=$(( 8192 + 1372 )) bs=1 count=4 2> /dev/null | hd 00000000 97 26 24 0f |.&$.| # Signed-off-by: Thomas Stewart Cc: Evgeniy Dushistov Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- fs/ufs/super.c | 2 ++ fs/ufs/ufs_fs.h | 1 + 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/ufs/super.c b/fs/ufs/super.c index 14743d935a93..ad9bc1ebd3a6 100644 --- a/fs/ufs/super.c +++ b/fs/ufs/super.c @@ -918,6 +918,7 @@ static int ufs_fill_super(struct super_block *sb, void *data, int silent) sbi->s_bytesex = BYTESEX_LE; switch ((uspi->fs_magic = fs32_to_cpu(sb, usb3->fs_magic))) { case UFS_MAGIC: + case UFS_MAGIC_BW: case UFS2_MAGIC: case UFS_MAGIC_LFN: case UFS_MAGIC_FEA: @@ -927,6 +928,7 @@ static int ufs_fill_super(struct super_block *sb, void *data, int silent) sbi->s_bytesex = BYTESEX_BE; switch ((uspi->fs_magic = fs32_to_cpu(sb, usb3->fs_magic))) { case UFS_MAGIC: + case UFS_MAGIC_BW: case UFS2_MAGIC: case UFS_MAGIC_LFN: case UFS_MAGIC_FEA: diff --git a/fs/ufs/ufs_fs.h b/fs/ufs/ufs_fs.h index 6943ec677c0b..8aba544f9fad 100644 --- a/fs/ufs/ufs_fs.h +++ b/fs/ufs/ufs_fs.h @@ -48,6 +48,7 @@ typedef __u16 __bitwise __fs16; #define UFS_SECTOR_SIZE 512 #define UFS_SECTOR_BITS 9 #define UFS_MAGIC 0x00011954 +#define UFS_MAGIC_BW 0x0f242697 #define UFS2_MAGIC 0x19540119 #define UFS_CIGAM 0x54190100 /* byteswapped MAGIC */ -- GitLab
