mount FreeBSD hard drive in Linux

[fugee ohu]

I connected a FreeBSD drive by IDE cable to my system board via Raid card with IDE header on it After booting ubuntu it appears as /dev/sdd with it's only partition sdd1 I mounted it like this:

$ sudo mount -r -t ufs -o ufstype=ufs2 /dev/sdd1 /home/aaa/ufs_mount 

After mounting home which is a symbolic link to /usr/home appears as a broken link and from directory mnt  `ls usr` doesn't return anything but a prompt

I don't think it can be that /usr/home doesn't exist on the drive Can someone tell me if they think it's not there or just linux can't see it

I don't really understand what you are trying to do with symlinks. Is it like /home links to /usr/home? Is there a reason for such a non-standard home location (why not /home)?

In any case, does the ufs_mount directory exist in /usr/home/aaa? And since /usr/home is linked to /home, can you verify ufs_mount exists in /home/aaa?

As a test, you can also create a 'test' directory in /mnt/, then try to mount there. That would make sure the drive can be mounted at all. If that works, then something with the symlinks isn't right. In that case, can you please post the output of a 'ls -al' command for both the /usr/home/aaa and /?

I'm thinking it's a perms issue because even on a fresh install /usr/home should be present What I have is a user directory without any home subdirectory I couldn't boot from this drive because my board doesn't have an ide connector
