Partimage of Sun disk

Message

Works fine for /, /usr, /var partitions but not for /opt.

Gives the error message :-

The file system of [/dev/hda6] is
[-unknown-], and is not supported

Can't see why this partition should be any different ????

Any ideas?

Note - I've tried a few Sun types for the /dev/hda6 partition.....

Think I've worked out what it is....

For some reason, it looks like partimage won't work with UFS disks over 4Gb in size.

I've created a new partition and filesystem 1Gb in size and that seems to work.

Bit of a blow that...
