Title Reading a QNX2 filesytem on a QNX4 PC.
Ref. No. QNX.000006397
Category(ies) Filesystem
Issue How can I see a QNX2 filesystem on a QNX 4 machine?

We are trying to read our QNX2 disks on a QNX4 machine.  We tried to mount the floppy as
"mount -t qnx2 /dev/fd0  /fd0"
and get the error message 
"mount: could not exec "mount_qnx2": No such file or directory".
Solution QNX2 and QNX4 are completely different filesystems. There is a utility available from the Contributed software section of our website which will allow you to read QNX2 files on a QNX4 system.  The path to the file is /usr/free/qnx4/os/utils/misc/

and the files you are interested in are
