Thanks for the replies...
This disk was a UFS filesystem, and had a 4.2 BSD disk label. I tried
several times to mount it under linux and it saw the drive, but couldn't
read the BSD disk label. Maybe there was a way to get it to work, but it
was quicker to try something different.
Rather than try to move 25gb of data across the network at 10Mbps, I ended
up doing a dump of each disk to tape, moved the tape drive, then did a
restore. I could have dumped or tar to a raw disk device if I had a spare
20+gb drive around, but didn't.
