@techokami@woof.tech @nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt “Last edited 7 years and 6 months ago” does not inspire confidence – I'm starting to suspect that newer FFS versions are unsupported by the Linux driver. It's getting pretty late for me now, but I'm inclined to try to lab this in a VM tomorrow...
As heavy-handed as it might sound, I suspect it might be easier to launch the NetBSD installation as a VM under Linux (i.e., passing that whole NVMe device through to the VM) and copy things via SSH or rsync.

@MrDOS@hachyderm.io @techokami@woof.tech @nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt @plzupgrademe@fedi.txw.ca Yes, that's correct, you should never mount a NetBSD FFS partition as anything other than read-only under Linux. Safe ways to share files offline across OS installs in base include ext2 and fat32. Various FUSE file systems are also available, like NTFS, but I haven't personally tried them.
