How does solaris read  fat32 floppy & UFS + how do i no its configed okay?

HI , I have solaris 9 for intell and I want to set up my floppy drive
so that it can read fat32 windows files of my windows floppy discs how
would i go about doing this.... Ive tried mkfs -F pcfs /dev/diskette
but it says device busy even though when i do df nothing of that
nature seems to be mounted also my spec is
I have 1 sony dvd writer
1 artec cd writer
soltek motherboard with athlon xp 2 gig processor
creative soundblaster 128
1 floppy 1.44 MB disk drive
geforce4mx440 graphics card
any help would be much appreciated as i cant seem to find much support
on this

The "raw" floppy device is busy because "vold", the solaris removable media manger process, manages
it. Use the volume manager devices.
1. put formatted floppy disk into drive, then run
volcheck -v /dev/rdiskette
Volcheck should respond with "/dev/rdiskette has media"
2. In case there was an existsing filesystem on the media, vold has already mounted it under
/floppy/floppy0
Since we're going to reformat the floppy with a new filesystem, unmount the floppy with:
volrmmount -e floppy0
(this is a "logical" eject event for the floppy device, which unmounts any mounted filesystem from the
device).
3. Create a pcfs (= FAT) filesystem on the volume manager floppy device
mkfs -F pcfs /vol/dev/aliases/floppy0
4. A "logical" device insert event for volume manage will mount the new pcfs filesystem
volrmmount -i floppy0
The floppy will be mounted under /floppy/floppy0/
5. copy files to or from /floppy/floppy0/
6. "physically" eject the floppy with:
eject floppy0
(skip steps 2. - 4. when you want to read a fat windows floppy without creating a new filesystem on it)

  • How does the Reader or Acrobat determine which plug-ins should be loaded

    Hi,
    I have a custom plug-in for Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat.
    The custom plug-in api file will be available in the plugins folder for all users.
    But I want the plug-in to load for few users only.
    Is there any registry key or any other property available to achieve this?
    How does the Reader or Acrobat determine which plug-ins should be loaded?
    Thanks,

  • How does SmartForms read secondary windows?

    Hi All,
    Please see the screenshot first.
    http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/2314/sflayoutreadwindowhow.jpg
    I have a SF with multiple secondary windows, and my main window is between them. 
    Does SF read them according to the arrangement in the tree node?
    Question: From top to bottom of tree node?
    I'm asking this because I have a program node inside my secondary windows where I need to add additional logic on the secondary windows.
    Thanks.

    No ,
    Command node  will be the last node in the main window , means after triggering all the nodes in the main window than it will trigger the command node (i.e  your next page will triger).
    Let me know if  any concerns ...

    how long does it take for Iphone 5 battery to drain? its stuck in recovery mode

    Well, the two questions you've asked aren't really related, but that being said, you should probably plug it in. You're going to have to restore the software to the device via iTunes.

  • Does Solaris publish a feature / function mapping of container services between Docker and Solaris ?

    Docker is getting huge attention but most consider it not ready for production.  Does Solaris publish a feature / function mapping of container services between Docker and Solaris ?
    Solaris containerization has been battle tested in production for many, many years.

    You need to understand how IPMP is used within Sun Cluster. Start reading at
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2968/6n57jmghj?a=view and
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2969/6n57kl141?a=view
    for a brief description. In a nutshell - the IPMP group is providing availability on the interface level for each node, so that a single NIC failure is not resulting into a service loss.
    The IP adresses you configure directly (ie. via /etc/hostname.* setup) are always considered local to a given node.
    In order to configure highly available IP adresses, which move between nodes and which should be used for the application you make highly available, you must use the SUNW.LocgicalHostaname or SUNW.SharedAdress resource types. Have a look at
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2974/6n57pdjtt?a=view on how to configure them.

    Does the iPod work okay otherwise apart from not being able to connect with and communicate with iTunes?
    Have you tried connecting the iPod to another PC or Mac running iTunes to see if it is properly recognized there?
    Is iTunes up to date on your PC?  Does it appear in Device Manager when you plug it in? To access Device Manager, click start, right->click on Computer (or My Computer in Windows XP) and choose Manage.  When the window opens, select Device Manager in the left hand pane if necessary.
    Any unknown devices listed or does the iPod appear anywhere under USB Host Controllers?

  • Dvd drive does not read dvd but reads cd only.

    my hp compaq 420 core2 duo dvd drive does not read the dvds but only reads the cds. How can i solve this problem, please help me with the correct answer.

    It will likely require replacement of the drive. There is more than one laser in there: one for each function. One can go bad without the other going bad.

  • My Mac has a OS X operating system. (10.6.8) How can I upgrade its system to Mountain Lion so I can then add the ICloud?

    My Mac has a OS X operating system. (10.6.8) How can I upgrade its system to Mountain Lion so I can then add the ICloud? Also, does the ICloud include virus protection for files already on my Mac?

    You can purchase and download Mountain Lion in the App Store (in your 'Applications' folder), then just run the installer: however you should first check that Mountain Lion can indeed run on your Mac. Please see this page:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    You might also want to look at this page to see whether any vital applications will be adversely affected:

    In particular note that PPC applications such as AppleWorks will not run on Mountain Lion since Rosetta is not included and can't be added.

  • After takimg the picture of my document and scanning into the adobe PDF it does not read clearly words are meshed together

    after taking a picture of my document and scanning into the adobe PDF
    it does not read clearly.  words are meshed together

    Hi melisaf76024648,
    Can you please tell me what process you're using to create the PDF? Are you scanning directly from the scanner into Acrobat? Or, are you scanning the document, and then using Adobe PDF Pack to convert the scanned image to PDF? Or, some other method?
    Please walk me through how you're creating the PDF, and we will have a better idea where things went awry.

  • Windows 7 does not read drivers on my OS Snow Leopard Install dvd

    When I start the DVD and the setup.exe I get 2 options - Remote Install Mac OS X and DVD or CD Sharing, no drivers are being downloaded or appear to be on the DVD.
    Any ideas, please help.

    Ok, after 3 sleepness nights I have found a solution and finally have a working Windows 7 Ultimate. I hope this will be helpful for everyone having similar issues and not have to go through the same nightmare.
    Right away after logging in Windows for the first time insert the original Snow Leopard Install DVD and if Windows does not read it or install any drivers after clicking on setup.exe do the following:
    Right-click on Start » Programs » Accessories » Command Prompt
    Select Run as Administrator
    Type cd /d D:, then press Enter
    Type cd Boot Camp\Drivers\Apple, then press Enter
    Type BootCamp64.msi, then press Enter
    If you do not how to right click before installing the drivers the following:
    Click on Start
    Enter cmd in the search box
    Instead of hitting the Enter key use Ctrl + Shift + Enter and will open a dialog box
    Click Yes at the prompt and you will be running as an administrator.
    If you do not have the original install DVD go the this link and follow the instructions(including the ones from the last comment):

  • Does Adobe Reader for iPad save annotations by/in itself (once uploaded from e.g. dropbox)

    Does Adobe Reader for iPad save annotations by/in itself (once uploaded from dropbox I can still see them after closing the app or switching documents)? I lost some valuable annotations while switching documents and apps over time. How do I save them? Only by sending it to dropbox for instance?

    It saves the file when:
    1) The app goes to background
    2) A share action (open in, email, print) occurs
    3) A form submit occurs
    4) You close the document by going to "Home" or "Documents", or open another document
    One issue that people encounter is that they open the file in a reader that does not support annotations (like the dropbox PDF view or the iOS Mail app). It doesn't sound like this is the case for you though, since you do see the annotations.
    There is a known issue, where on a small number of documents with specific properties, we fail to save changes. This is an issue that we have fixed and will be in our next release. The release is currently pending approval by Apple. It's possible that you encountered this issue, and if so, I apologize.
