asked on Mounting ufs2 multi-disk partition on Fedora 20
I have a 10TB UFS (ufs2) partition on 4 3TB disks that I'd like to have mounted on Fedora so I can move it to an EXT4 or XFS partition.
Fedora sees the disks as /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd and /dev/sde
this disk utility tells me that /dev/sd[bde] are of Contents: Unknown — but /dev/sdc is listed as Content: Unknown (ufs 2)
that gives me hope that it knows the drive type and might be mountable. But reading the man pages for mount and stab there is no means to specify multi drives for a mount point. Also no means to use the full raw drive, mount wants to use a slice.

The FreeNAS has the one UFS2 file system as a RAID5 across sdb sdc add and sde.

I moved all of the dat off on new disks and now I'll nuke the volume. It is such a pain, this day and age you'd think that they would have the ability to read that they could adopt the specs to make the file systems compatible. But I think I am a dreamer.
thank you, sorry for the delay in responding.

not sure what you mean by "multi drives for a mount point"
