Mounting IRIX filesystem

In WINDOWS

Using DD For Windows: DD creates a single file of the EFS disc that will allow you to mount into Linux

Download the file here <http://www.arxvaldex.com/pb/files/winefssh.zip>

This program runs in DOS Mode, Load up the DOS prompt, Goto the directory where DD is stored

Type the following:

dd if=\\?\Device\CDRom0 of=cd.img bs=4096

cd.img is the file that is created, you may use any filename you wish CDROM is your CD drive path

To see your CD drive path goto: /Device/xxxxxx

In LINUX

You need to use terminal

load up terminal

Type the following:

mount -t efs -r cd.efs

If this does not work try:

mount -o loop -t cd.efs mnt

This will create a mounted directory (usually called mount or mnt) where you can access the files.
