Mount an USB key under solaris 10 x86

I've got a problem with solrais, I have got an USB key, and when I connect it to the computer, nothing is done.
I want to know how I can mount my USB key.

Ok, I made a

If I understand it says that there is an illegal request ?
This device name is c5t0d0, but inside of c5t0d0, there is:
-bash-3.00# ls /vol/dev/dsk/c5t0d0/
unknown_format
-bash-3.00#
woozat ?
thx

Hi All,
Looks like it was a driver / incompatibility / unsupported issue since 2 other much smaller USB keys (Lexar USB Flash Drive – 32GB, SanDisk Cruzer Colors – 4GB) were successfully mounted automatically by volfs service as follows:

Mount NTFS under Solaris 10

Hi can anybody tell me if i can mount a NTFS partition under Solaris 10??
Thanks for ur help.

<table border="0" align="center" width="90%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td class="SmallText"><b>korsabad wrote on Wed, 11 January 2006 06:23</b></td></tr><tr><td class="quote">
if you use solaris x86 and the ntfs-partition
Not possible. NTFS has those windows-security-id's (you know, those about-40-character-long-id's) for each object which cannot be read from solaris.
</td></tr></table>
I think writing to NTFS is nearly impossible (due to changes of the NTFS version, security stuff, and so on).
However reading from an <u>unencrypted</u> NTFS partition seems to be a possible thing. I do not know if a tool or a driver <u>already</u> exists but I think it is a possible task to write a tool that reads from NTFS partitions.
I think writing a tool that reads from UFS partitions under Windows is an easy task, too. I wrote such a tool for reading the EXT2 file system under Windows long time ago.

Sound for when a USB key inserted

For a decade or more I have used the wonderful launcher and program organizer DragThing by James Thomson - excellent. It also gives me sounds for things like when I plug-in a USB key or insert a CD or DVD-- and lots more.
But I'm now configuring a computer for my daughter and I am trying to keep things real simple as she is a PC user and I don't want to throw too much at her that she won't use. So the Dock will be the first "launcher" along with Launch Pad -- BUT
BUT-- how to get the sounds for special actions like inserting a disc or USB key if I don't use DragThing? Are there other small programs out there that can add these features. YES I've tried to google this but have not found the exact thing for which I am seeking--
Thanks for any comments / suggestions --
Best regards,

It is possible. It certainly has to spend time mounting the USB key info to the system while it boots up since it attempts to mount every file system connected to it when it starts up. Try booting without it to see if it makes a difference.

Solaris x86 with card on-board

Hi all,
I got a problem when installing Solaris9 x86 on ibm NetVista Machine.
I have installed 2 other machines with separated network card sucessfully. I can configure to connecto to my LAN network.
But when install on 2 ibm NetVista machines (which include onboard network card ), It is fail to be configured to connect to the network in both following cases:
Case 1: I choose proper driver as Sun suggest for Intel VE Pro(R) 10/100 : iprb. And the Solaris detect successfully. I checked by "ifconfig -a" and saw the network card active on "iprb0".
Next, I following correct instructions to configure the network card to connect to the LAN. But when i ping IP (9.187.186.18) to other computer in our same subnet LAN,
The system display eg: "No anwer from 9.187.186.18"
I run the "snoop" command to view broadcasr ARP in an other terminal. The snoop terminal displays ARP signal boradcasting from the Solaris. However, it can nerver get ARPs from other computer in LAN.
Case 2: I add 3COM network driver to the solaris ( onboard card is no loger used ). The system can auto-detected this card and i can configure to connect to the network. The problem remain unchange.
Is there any special in IBM Netvista machine need to be configure under Solaris x86 or any particular configuarion for on-board network card. ???
Can any boy help me to solve this problem ??
Best regards,
Thang,
Vietsoftware Developer

However, it can nerver get ARPs from other computer in LAN.Are you perhaps running "snoop" on a box different from the one that you're trying to ping, and are you using
a switched ethernet? In that case it would be OK if you only see the ARP broadcast, because the ping target
box will send the ARP reply directly to the MAC of the requesting station (i.e. there's no ARP broadcast reply),
and an ethernet switch will send the ARP reply directly to the port where the station with the given destination
MAC is connected - no other port should see the reply.
If you're trying to ping 9.187.186.18 from the new Solaris x86 box, try to run snoop on the 9.187.186.18
system. 9.187.186.18 should see the ARP broadcast from the LAN, and the 9.187.186.18 box should list the
ARP response it sends back to the LAN.
Is there any special in IBM Netvista machine need to be configure under Solaris x86 or any particular
configuarion for on-board network card. ???I guess the interrupt handler for the NIC is not working, so the Solaris x86 sees no incomming packets.

Mac in the shop -- how to access encrypted FS image on USB key?

My Mac is in the repair shop (it's a G4 PowerBook, circa Titanium). In the meantime, I've got a USB key with a UFS file system created by 10.3.9, on which resides an AES-128-encrypted disk image (.dmg file).
I can mount the USB key's UFS file system from Linux, using 'mount -t ufs -o ro,ufstype=openstep /dev/sdb3 /mnt/<whatever>', so I can see the encrypted disk image (as well as my non-encrypted files). I believe I know the password for the encrypted disk image. But what file system type is it? Is it also ufs/openstep?
The basic question is, when creating an AES-128 encrypted disk image using Disk Utility, what is the file system type underneath the encryption?
Thanks!

Hm. Well, when I use Disk Utility on 10.3.9 to create an encrypted disk image, it doesn't give me any choice as to the file system format. It allows me to choose what directory to create it in, how big it should be, and whether or not to use AES128 encryption -- that's it. Maybe there are more choices on Tiger/Leopard.
So, what file system type will Disk Utility on 10.3.9 create?

EXT4 errors while mounting a USB in initramfs on a specific computer

Hi,
I'm having trouble booting a newly installed Archlinux on a USB key on an old HP Compaq computer.
I am getting EXT4 errors in the regular initramfs, but they blink really fast on the screen so I can't read them properly.
It boots fine with the fallback initramfs, and dmesg shows that there are no problems while mounting.
The system boots without any problem on both initramfs with QEMU on my Windows.
My mkinitcpio.conf :
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems fsck keyboard"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"
# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=""
I'm really puzzled about this, since I initially thought that the HP Compaq simply had problems with my USB key, but since it boots fine with the fallback initramfs, I think that it is the initramfs' fault, but it is the default one, so I currently have no clues about this.
I've also checked the USB key multiple times with fsck, and that doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem.

The thing is, the block module and the filesystem module are both loaded in my regular initramfs, and the presence of ext4 errors while mounting my USB key (it uses ext4) signifies that the system is actually using the right tool to do what it's supposed to.
The system has been installed via VirtualBox so the autodetect module may have messed things up. Going to recreate an initramfs image without it.
EDIT : It worked, sorry for bothering you guys, I could've found it sooner.
Anyway, as a note for others, if you plan on installing on a USB key to use it on other computers, remove the autodetect module from the initramfs, otherwise the required modules won't always be there.

Mounting a UFS formated USB drive on Solaris 10

[Hope this is the correct place to post this question]
I connected my 160 GB external usb hard drive to my V240 Solaris 9 server, ran newfs (ufs), mounted it, and wrote data to the drive with no problems.
I moved it to another sparc box with Solaris 10 (build 74-1) and tried mounting it, but no luck. The logical path for the usb drive shows up in "/dev/dsk" after running "devfsadm -C" and it shows up as configured when running "cfgadm -al," however, when I try to mount the drive it eventually times out without mounting. I get the same results when I try this on the x86 version of Solaris 10.
I know that the drive still works by taking it back to my Solaris 9 server and mounting the drive.
Is there something special or different with mounting usb drives with Solaris 10?
Thanks,
Phillip

It should be the same. For instance with a usb keychain (formated pcfs):
mkdir /usbdrive
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c3t0d0p1 /usbdrive
On this particular laptop the second usb port was. c4t0d0p1 so:
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c4t0d0p1 /usbdrive
The numbering might be different for each usb port and you have to specify the filesystem of the usb drive, but it should work.

Mounting a Solaris x86 CD/DVD from a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive

Greetings, all.
Is it possible to mount a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive? I have the Solaris 10x86 Companion Software DVD sitting in a CD/DVD-ROM drive that's installed on a Windows server on my network. It is shared-out (F:) and the two servers can ping each other. I've also confirmed the NFS services/daemons are running on the Solaris x86 machine. I've tried the following variations but, all have failed to produce successful results:

I've also tried mounting it at bootup by adding the appropriate entry in the /etc/vfstab file but, this does not work as well. I've tried Google'ing for an answer to my issue but, I haven't been able to find anything that applies directly to what I'm reporting. It's usually chatter about mounting from one UNIX server to another. Any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated.

After three weeks, you deserve a reply. Windoze does
not natively support NFS.Also deserves a decent answer...
There are two ways to do this:
Install Microsoft's free "Windows Services for UNIX," which includes a Windows NFS server; or
Install the 'sharity' package (google for it); it provides Solaris systems the ability to mount Windows shares

Solaris-x86 mount fat32 partition, the partition max size limit?

solaris10 x86, laptop, 10G FAT32 partition for windows & x86 exchange data.
the fat32 partition mount as normal, can be read fine.
but write some file by x86, that can not find by windows.
anyboy know did the solaris-x86 mount fat32 partition, the partition max size limit? or no limit, why this problem occur?

Mounting Windows partition in Solaris
The easiest way to share data now is to do it through a FAT32 partition. Solaris
recognises it as partition of type pcfs. It is specified as device:drive where drive is
either the DOS logical drive letter (c through z) or a drive number (1 through 24).
Drive letter c is equivalent to drive number 1 and represents the Primary DOS partition
on the disk; drive letters d through z are equivalent to drive numbers 2 through 24,
and represent DOS drives within the Extended DOS partition.Syntax is
mount -F pcfs device:drive /directroy-name
where directory name specifies the location where the file system is mounted.
To mount the first logical drive (d:) in the Extended DOS partition from an IDE hard
disk in the directory /d use
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0d0p0:d /d
You can use mount directory-name after appending following line is in
/etc/vfstab file
device:drive directory-name pcfs no rw
for example
c0d0s0:c /c pcfs no rw
If your windows partition like the following means
C: - NTFS, D:-FAT32, E:-NTFS, F:-FAT32
Then you can only mount D, F not C & E.
Mounting D Drive:
mount -F pcfs /dev/disk/c0d0p0:c /mountpoint
Mounting F Drive
mount -F pcfs /dev/disk/c0d0p0:d /mountpoint
The driveletter only for fat not including other file systems (ntfs or any linux filesystems).

Disabling USB hard drives but allowing USB keys mounting, possible ?

Hi all,
I have a tricky request from one of my customers : they would like to block any external hard drives (firewire and USB) from mounting on the Desktop, BUT would like to allow USB keys only.
All the clients are unmanaged (local accounts, NOT bound to an Open Directory Master server) and are running OS X 10.4.8 (Intel).
I found the easy way to prevent any Firewire device to show up.
I also found how to disable all USB devices (except for keyboard/mouse) : renaming /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext
Problem is, this method won't make any difference between a hard drive and a key, it will block it, period.
Is there any way to allow some (or all) USB keys only to mount ? My only guess would be to unload some extensions which are listed by the "kextstat" command.
That could only be possible if USB keys and USB hard drives don't use the same kind/brand of controller/bridge and therefore don't use the same kernel extension.
Does anyone have a clue on this ?
Many thanks.

[SOLVED] Prevent a specific USB key from mounting ?

Hi,
I have a USB key containing my keyfile to decrypt my hard disk. I'd like to prevent it from being mount by any user except root (to prevent a malicious script running at startup and dumping it or so).
My problem is that I can specify it in the fstab directly because it is a removable device and the kernel may drop to emergency mode if I put it there. Or maybe there's some option which I don't know ?
Thanks

USB keys and external hard drives disappear after 30 seconds to 1 minute of being mounted.

I just got my 15' MacBook Pro refurbished (by Apple), and everything is working well except my USB ports. My USB keys appear for 30 seconds to as much as 2 minutes before disappearing from eveywhere, my desktop, finder and disk utility. I have a 1 TB WD passport for mac that also has the same problem, but can stay on the desktop and copy files for around 10 minutes. Then error -36 shows up, the hard drive disappears from the desktop and finder, but only appears in disk utility. It is powered as well, The light is currently flashing indicating it's receiving power as I am typing this. But still, no way i can copy anyhting onto it.
I have searched and searched for the solution to this problem, I have tried using apple script to find "invisible hard drives." and that doesn't work either.
On my windows partition in bootcamp, all usb keys work perfectly fine.
Is it because the USB ports are out of energy and dying? If so, should the refurbishment have covered that and replaced them? (Note: refurbishment included everything from my Keysboard to my battery to my Optical drive and cable optical drive flex)
Is there anything I can do to fix this problem on my own?
Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.

Hi wdmpfm,
Here is something from an earlier post on the -36 error that may help to identify the issue:
A -36 is a disc I/O error. You might have a corrupt file, or a corrupted drive. Try creating a new file and see if you still get the error. If you do, it might be wise to run a Disc Repair program to see if it can find any errors that it can fix.
And one from another thread:
You need to format your drive correctly. New drives come formatted for Windows, & then they seem to work — but not properly.
+Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility+
Choose one of the +Mac OS Extended+ formats.
Obviously first you will have to back-up all the data you have already put on the drive, because it will all be lost when you re-format.
Hope one of these may help!
Cheers,
GB

Oracle RAC 10g on Solaris x86 using vmware

Guys,
I am practising 10g RAC installation on my laptop, wherein I have vmware workstation and

Can you provide some sort of clue what could be done to resolve the above error?

Refer to http://www.oracleracsig.org/ Under documents section select OS=Solaris. You will find a document on Oracle RAC on Solaris10 using Vmware.
