I have some memory of having read some docs or notes online somewhere about it. I don't think I've ever tried mounting a HD partition from one of them on linux, though. If it would be any help, I probably still have the CD with that ancient Slackware, and also a (now) really ancient Red Hat 4.1 CD.  ISO images could be created in need.

Is there a way to get at the odd SysV volume manager slices if I have access to an OS drive? The disk or partition is split into slices, sort of like a crude LVM. I need to recover the files from the disk, based on a full raw backup of the drive or the drive itself. I was hoping for a fuser implementation or so, since the extra cost networking stuff wasn't bought when the system was built. A local business depends on this, and I'm trying to help them recover.
