[ag-automation] RBF filesystem

[Steven Hirsch]

Hi,

I have just built and installed the RBF filesystem module.  The system is 
running Ubuntu 8.04 in 32-bit mode and the kernel version is 2.6.24.  The 
build went fine and the module loads without complaint.

I am not having much success in trying to mount images of Tandy CoCo 6809 
OS-9 diskettes, however.  I tried:

$ mount -t rbf -o loop,sector=256,verbose /tmp/disk.dsk /mnt

It comes back with this on the console:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
        missing codepage or helper program, or other error
        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
        dmesg | tail  or so

and in the kernel log:

Oct 19 14:25:52 u32 kernel: [368834.785845] No RBF filesystem on loop0 \
    (magic=00000000)

Yet, this image is valid.  If I dd it to a diskette I can read it on the 
target hardware.  Also, third party tools such as 'toolshed' handle it 
perfectly (read directory, copy files in and out, etc.)

Do you have any advice?

Steve
