    Hi all,

    Our server AIX 4.1 server crashed. (hardware)

    I need to read the data (JFS) but we dont have another AIX machine ?

    Can the disk be mounted on a Linux machine?

    When I type: fdisk /dev/sdc
    "There is a valid AIX label on this disk
    Unfortunately Linux cannot handle these disks at the moment...."

    Do I have some hope ?

    Thank you!

    Nicolas

    Your best best is to find someone with an AIX machine, and use that machine to get the data off.
