Mount FAT volume in Solaris-HOWTO

Can I mount an FAT partation in Solaris 8 like what I do under linux? How to?
I've got a multi-system.

Solaris' pcfs can do that. See "man mount_pcfs" for
examples.

  • Mount NTFS volumes in Solaris 10 update 8

    Hi All,

    2 .  I have enabled the samba service on solaris server
    3 .  Created a directory on solaris server using mkdir /data
    4 .  Used the " mount "  command to mount the volume but its failed .

    Can you boot from DVD and do an "upgrade?"

  • Mounting FAT partitions on Solaris 8

    Does Solaris 8 support mounting Windows FAT 16/32 partitions
    from IDE drives on an Intel platform. The PCFS type seems
    to be reserved for dos floppies.

    mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/cXdXpX /mnt should work.
    Where c = 0 or 1 (0 for primary , 1 for secondary ide)
    d = 0 or 1 (0 for master , 1 for slave )
    p = 0 .. 4 (number of the partition)
    You can find more info in the Solaris x86 FAQ
    There used to be an issue where you couldnt mount a partition that was formated under WinNT but I dont think that is still an issue under Solaris 8 x86

  • Error in mount FAT in Solaris 10 x86.

    Hi all,
    I did try mount an FAT partition in Solaris, but I receive an error, see:
    # /usr/bin/prtpart /dev/rdsk/c1d0p0 -ldevs
    Fdisk information for device /dev/rdsk/c1d0p0
    ** NOTE **

    in bold is the partition that I want mount.
    dir that I want mount in:
    # pwd
    /mnt/windows
    # mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1d0p7 /mnt/windows
    mount: /dev/dsk/c1d0p7 is already mounted or /mnt/windows is busy
    /dev/dsk/c1d0p7 is not mounted, when I navigate to mnt/windows it is void..
    what is wrong?
    thanks to all...

    Well, you can't stand in the directory you are trying to mount, if you stand in '/mnt/windows' you will not be able to mount anything over it. (thats what 'busy' means in this context).
    Basically your pwd can be anything except the mountpoint.
    Hence, try a 'cd /' first, then try again.

  • ZFS tries to mount SAN volume before ISCSI is running

    I am running Solaris 10 x86 U7. It is actually a VMWare guest (ESX4) on a Sun X4170 server- although I do not believe that that is relevant. I have a Sun 2510 iSCSI SAN appliance. I have an iSCSI volume with a ZFS Pool that is mounted on the server. All was fine until yesterday when I installed the following patches:
    142934-02 SunOS 5.10_x86: failsafe patch
    142910-17 SunOS 5.10_x86: kernel patch
    144489-02 SunOS 5.10_x86: kernel patch
    142912-01 (as a dependency requirement for one of the others.)
    I had installed the patches in run level 1 , then switched to run level S to allow the patch install to finish.
    Now, when I restart the zfs volume on the san is marked as off line. the /var/adm/messages shows the following
    Nov 7 00:26:30 hostnameiscsi: [ID 114404 kern.notice] NOTICE: iscsi discovery failure - SendTargets (ip.ad.dr.ess)
    I can mount the SAN ZFS pool with
    #zpool clear ZFSPOOL1
    #zfs mount -a
    For iscsi device discovery, I am using send targets (not static or iSNS.) I am not using CHAP authentication.
    It seems to be me this may merely be a timing in services and not fundamentally an iscsi issue. Can I tell the OS to wait for a minute after starting iscsi service before continuing with zfs mount and autofs shares? Can I tell the OS to delay mounting non OS zfs pools?
    Thanks

    Here is what I tried. Installed Batchmod and Xupport on each of internal system disk, backup internal system disk and external system disk. Batchmod could not find the folders automount or Network.
    Booting from external disk, I made hidden files visible using Xupport, then deleted automount > Servers, automount > Static on internal disk and backup disk. The folder Network had no files or folder named "Server". Booting from internal disk, the desktop tried to mount server volumes. Examining the internal disk automount folder showed aliases for "Servers" and "static". Get Info said they pointed to originals "Servers" and "static" in folder /automount but these items do not appear in the Finder.
    Sometimes icons, not aliases, for "Network", "Servers", and "static" appear on all three desktops on login. Trying to eject these icons by dragging to Trash or highlighting and clicking File > Eject has no effect. Examining Users > Username > Desktop does not show these items. Sometimes ".DS_Store" appears on desktop and in folder Users > Username > Desktop.
    Next I deleted user accounts so that all system disks are single user. Booted up on External disk and deleted automount > Servers, automount > Static on internal disk and internal backup disk or their aliases, whichever appeared in Finder. Booting up on internal disk results in... desktop trying to mount server volumes.
    Will try an archive and install on internal disk.

  • Mounting XRAID onto a solaris server

    Hi
    I need to migrate data from a hitatchi RAID currently managed by a solaris server to an XRAID that will be managed by an Xserve. If they are on the same network can I just mount the XRAID temporarily on the solaris server using mount -F nfs Xservername:/newdirectory /mnt and then just use the cp command to transfer the data or is that just not sensible.
    Regards
      Mac OS X (10.4)  

    There's no problem exporting an Xserve RAID volume as NFS and then mounting it on the Solaris box.
    You need to set up the sharepoint using Workgroup Manager on the Xserve RAID, but then you should be good to go. Of course, NFS security is... no security... so be careful with the default export rules.
    Also, depending on how large the volume is, Solaris may have problems seeing exports that are larger than 1 or 2 TB. What version of Solaris is it?

  • HT1533 how to mount a volume on a mac

    how to mount a volume on a mac

    Local direct-connect mounts via USB, Firewire, SDXC card, optical media, etc., will be automounted immediately provided that the filesystem of the attached media is recognized, such as Apple HFS, MS FAT, HSFS and other optical media formats. A problematic but common format is NTFS, default for modern Windows systems, since MacOS X does not handle it by default and will need third-party additions to be used, especially if password-protected.
    Remote mounts such as Windows SMB shares or Unix NFS volumes need to be manually mounted. In the Finder's menus, see the Go/Connect to server... option.

  • A better way to make Automator mount a volume?

    I made an Automator application, using the Record function, to mount a volume on a drive connected to my Mini. I also made a similar one to eject it. I use them as Calendar-triggered events as part of my backup scheme.
    They work well ... until I restart the Mini, when occasionally my two connected drives will mount in a different order. What happens then is that the sequence of mouse clicks recorded in Automator don’t find the correct volume.
    I wonder if there’s a better way to automate the mounting of a currently ejected disc (and later its ejection). Automator, as far as I can see, does not have the actions I need. It has Ask For/Connect to/Get specified Servers, but they seem only to be for network-connected stuff.
    Anyone know a better way?

    Welcome to Unix. 
    The key part of that shell script code is the test for the existence of the mount point (if [ -e /Volumes/dbamp ]), followed by a conditional block that — in the "else" section involved when the mount point wasn't found — creates it, and then mounts an AFP file system on that mount point.  Most of the rest of the baggage in that script is used to get the mysqldump database dumps over onto the target disk, once it's been mounted.
    Here's a very quick overview of the basics of scripting , Apple's introduction to the command line manual, there's a generic bash intro (which is good, but doesn't line up exactly with how bash is implemented on OS X) and O'Reilly has some reasonable books on bash and bash scripting.  Once you know and are comfortable with the basics, there are advanced bash guides available.

  • Share a mounted AFP volume across user accounts on the same computer

    Hi all,
    I have a Mac Mini with several attached disks (HFS+). I'm using it as a file server, to share these disks over my home network. I'm mounting these as AFP server volumes on a second computer (MacBook Pro). This all works fine. Both are running MacOS 10.6.2.
    The problem is that my MacBook Pro has two user accounts, and when I mount AFP volumes under one user, the other user can't access them. It seems that mounted AFP volumes are assigned read/write permissions for only the user that mounted them.
    Ideally, I'd like to mount a volume once, and have it accessible from both user accounts. I've tried changing permissions in the AFP volume's Get Info window, but the changes don't take effect.
    Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!!

    I'm no expert in this department, but I believe that your question was the reason Apple started the 'Group' calendar. Check this page out:

  • Copy files from mounted pc volume to mac

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with the following script:

  • No longer mount NFS volumes with 2010.q1 release:

    Has anyone else seen this? I can no longer mount any of my NFS volumes with root squash since upgrading to 2010.q1. I have a ticket open with Sun (72644622), but everyone is apparently off/away.
    Before they all went off, Sun Eng. suggested setting max supported NFS version to 3, but this of course did not work. Hosts trying to mount the volumes error out with:
    call_verify: server HOST_IP_HERE requires stronger authentication.
    I have double checked that the atuh is set to sys (not krb), but it looks like the nfsd is not respecting this.
    Of course this has knocked all our VMware mounts offline as well, and using krb for these is out of the question....
    Had to update to support the new FC card...which works great...but me needs me nfs shares....
    Fishworks doods, stop yelling at drives and help a brother out ;)

    I wish I could tell you, but it seems we lost a CIM card. Worse yet, this failure was completely SILENT. Not a single "problem" listed in the logs. However, when attaching another J4400, I noticed an alarm LED on the failed CIM and verified that the storage was only seen by 1 path. Kind of disconcerting that availability could be reduced significantly without so much as an email.
    I'll let you know if we can get to the new release later this week.

  • Unable to mount XSAN volume on client workstation

    We just reimaged one of our machines and we are now unable to mount the xsan volume. Originally when the machine hooked up the IP was wrong and the XSAN couldn't see it. This has been fixed and the XSAN sees it now and it is authenticated, but when we try to mount the volume we get this error
    Jan 26 13:54:48 *** Xsan Admin[23616]: ERROR: Error reading computer properties: kOfflineError (0)
    Jan 26 13:55:37 *** Xsan Admin[23616]: ERROR: Error mounting volume…: Server returned a non-zero status code (100007)

    The *'s was the name of the machine, apple has been little to no help. We have tried removing the machine form the XSAN and then adding it back in, same issue. Tried reinstallingt eh client, same issue. Any ideas?

    This is the error on server

  • Backup Controller cannot mount XSAN Volume

    Hi Guys,
    I've really have a big problem regarding the XSAN that I've just setup: There are 3 Xserves connected to the SAN - one for the main controller, one for backup and another one for fileserver. After a fresh install of the Leopard Server 10.5.6 on all servers and fresh install of Xsan 2.0 updated to 2.1.1, I tried creating an SAN from the main controller, I added first the main and backup controllers, authenticated them properly and was successful adding them to the SAN. After this, I created the volume and it mounted properly on the main controller. What I don't understand is that whenever I try to mount the volume to the backup controller, it is saying unable to mount and even I tried forcing it to mount in terminal using the command xsanctl mount VOLNAME, its giving me an error saying
    "unable to mount volume, Cannot mount XSAN volume error code: 5"
    What is that error message? When I tried typing cvadmin to the main controller, it only gave me this message:
    Main Controller:
    File System Services (* indicates service is in control of FS)
    1>*XSAN[0] located on 10.0.0.101:49930 (pid 317)
    Select FSM "XSAN"
    When I type the same cvadmin to the backup controller, it gave me this message:
    Backup Controller:
    File System Service (* indicates service is in control of FS)
    1> XSAN[1] located on 10.0.0.102:50384 (pid 331)
    No FSSs are active
    Select FSM "none"
    What is happening? both servers are having a DNS name. Before I created the SAN, from the authenticate window, the server name is just the IP address of the Ethernet 0 (first ethernet port). Now whenever I fire up Xsan Admin, both controllers are now offline and if you authenticate them, the server name info suddenly changed from IP address to a DNS Name (e.g. from 194.170.34.12, changed to hct-mdc.ad.hct.ac.ae) which even if I type my admin username and password cannot authenticate saying "server not found in network"
    I really don't know now what to do and they need to fix the issue asap.
    I would really appreciate your help guys!
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I am accessing this WS via ARD, so public LAN is definitely there. I have not connected the "Xsan" network (but it should be no problems communicating the Xsan traffic over this single LAN connection).
    With the firewall, the situation is more strange. When I try to open the Firewall settings on Sharing, there is a dialog "Other firewall software is running on this computer." I googled this and it seems that this was a common problem on 10.3. They suggest to delete com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist file but it is not there on 10.4.
    "sudo ipfw list" shows this:
    00001 allow udp from any 626 to any dst-port 626
    65535 allow ip from any to any
    Any ideas on how to make Firewall behave as expected? I will try to reinstall if I don't receive a reply.
    Thanks.

  • [SOLVED] Truecrypt mounts vfat volume as read only

    Hey there...
    After the recent upgrade to linux 3.0.6-2  truecrypt mounts VFAT volumes as read-only. The file that I usually mount is in a USB which is formated as NTFS (I can copy and delete files from the USB). I think is a problem with the vfat filesystem but I'm not sure.
    Any help?

    I apologize because of this post... The problem was in the file (something was wrong with the container)... so the solution was to do a new volume and copy all the files to the new file.

  • File sharing wont mount all volumes

    Hello,
    I've been going crazy trying to figure this one out. I'm trying to share my Mac Pro files and have enabled file sharing from the networking system preferences, up until a month ago this was working fine. Now whenever I connect to my Mac pro as admin from my Macbook pro I only get my home folder and public folder to mount, the volumes on my mac pro wont show up on any computer I connect with. It was working fine for years and then one day just stopped. As a test, I just tried connecting to my Macbook pro from my Mac Pro and it lists all the volumes on my computer, So I don't think its my router or anything, but nothing has changed anyway. Any help would be great, thanks!

    I'm having the same problem. I tried your suggestion and it worked on one of my two external usb drives but I'm still having problems on my other external.
    It shows up on the shared list but when I click on it I get the message: The operation cannot be completed because the original item for "NamedDisk" cannot be found.
    I've tried deleting all my network preferences, plist files etc. and running disk warrior on the nameddisk to no avail.
    This problem just started a few days ago. Not sure what could have changed. I've had 10.5.7 running on this computer for a few weeks. I get the same error from any computer on my network trying to access this disk.
