- I haven't seen such support in Linux.. But has anybody even seen
- the specifications of a Stacker drive-file? I doubt they've been
- published, and just guessing the format could prove a bit tricky...
-
- What I know about Stacker, all the stuff on a stacked drive is
- actually in a single file on an MSDOS filesystem, so obviously
- one should first mount the msdos-fs and then mount the stacker-file
- on that fs into some directory. I wonder if this is possible on
- Linux; can mount use other than UNIX block-specials as devices
- to mount from.
