Mount other partitions or hdd

Hello, I'm new in Solaris 8 x86 world and I have a lot of questions.
The most important one right now would be: Can I mount a Windows partition or Linux partition on Solaris 8 x86 and how? How Solaris sees other hdd (partitions and slices)? Ex: I have 2 hdd; I've installed Solaris 8 on Secondary Master (c1d0, I think) and Win98 on Primary Master (c0d0). Now I want to mount Win partition (hdd) in Solaris 8 OS because I'm having some docs & applications there. Any answer or comment is welcome!

Wow,, Thank u Very much ROOKIE
now i can use my partition again.
Sorry i'm late to reply

  • You should also create directories for and mount any other partitions

    Hi,
    I've downloaded archlinux-2012.12.01-dual.iso and wrote it to USB. I've booted from that USB and set up partititons using command cfdisk.
    /dev/sda5 ==> /boot
    /dev/sda6 ==> /
    /dev/sda7 ==> swap
    /dev/sda8 ==> /home
    I don't remember if I've created /mnt or if it was already there. I've created two directories: /mnt/boot and /mnt/home as per instructions:
    "https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_Guide
    Mount the partitions
    We now must mount the root partition on /mnt. You should also create directories for and mount any other partitions (/mnt/boot, /mnt/home, ...) if you want them to be detected by genfstab."
    I've mounted /dev/sda6 on /mnt
    and now there are no /mnt/boot and /mnt/home under the /mnt
    I don't understand what to do now because instructions state that I should create directories /mnt/boot and /mnt/home and mount them but now that I've mounted / on /mnt the /mnt/boot and /mnt/home are not available to mount partitions /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda8
    Regards

    mount /dev/sda6 /mnt
    mkdir /mnt/boot
    mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/boot
    Then do pacstrap etc. Add /home to fstab before you reboot.
    Alternatively you can mkdir /mnt/home and mount /sda8 there too, then genfstab will add the entry in fstab for it for you.

  • Mounting data partition + Finder issue

    Hello,
    I have now 2 disks in my MBP (SSD + HDD in Optibay). I want to use the HDD for data only storage and I would like to mount the disk in the folder
    ~/Data
    So I created the dir and mounted the partition manually to test it :
    sudo mount_hfs /dev/disk1s2 /Users/me/Data/
    It works but there is a little annoyance:
    I open Finder and go to my Home dir. Now I enter the Data directory where my partition is mounted. First, the sidebar does not show now that I'm in my user directory. Now if I want to step one level up using Cmd + UpArrow, I do not go back to my home folder as expected but to a list of all my disks.
    Is there a way to fix that ?

    I also tried with the "nobrowse" option but the behavior is the same.

  • Auto-detect & mount disk partitions and removable drives

    I use ubuntu in addition to my current wip of installing arch linux.Now i have installed lxde desktop. But i am not able to see any of my partitions of my disk and other hdd. Besides removable drives also dont get mounted.
    Similarly if a new partition is created the same also gets autodetected in ubuntu. eg my arch linux partition. I need not go to do any fiddling in the system to recognize the same.
    So is it possible to achieve the same under archlinux?So want to know how to get  the same done.
    what i want is to have the partitions[ext & ntfs] detected when the filemanager is opened and mount/unmount at my will, just as i do now in ubuntu.
    So far what i have done is based on the lxde wiki, i installed the polkit-gnome gvfs package but nothing is mounted.
    i would like to have specific instructions to how to work out and get the above  done.
    pls guide to the same.

    What do you mean when you say that pcmanfm is not displaying *any* partitions? You see no files at all? Or do you mean: it is not showing partitions not listed in /etc/fstab?
    I mean it is not showing partitions not listed in /etc/fstab. As of now pcmanfm shows only the arch systems partitions which I created while installation : root, and home. Balance of partitions of other systems of the same drive and second hard drive is not shown.
    When you say that in Ubuntu, newly created partitions show up automatically, do you mean that if you change the partitioning on your internal drive, the changes are automatically reflected in /etc/fstab?
    Yes the changes are automatically reflected in the filemanager of ubuntu, ie. Nautilius. However Ubuntu fstab as you see in the previous post of mine contains no entry to other partitions other than just ubuntus.In the fstab I posted above you can very well see it just shows 4 partitions of hdd1  [similar to the way the arch fstab shows only its own] where it is installed :boot,root,home, swap. Whereas there is two more partitions there viz windows and a ntfs. You don’t see them in fstab, but when you open the nautilius filemanager you can see the drives. See the image link of my filemanger posted below at the end. In that shared data and windows are two ntfs partition of hdd1 where ubuntu is installed. Arch is installed on 2nd hdd alongwith a Ubuntu.289gb partition is a ubuntu LVM along with arch root and arch home you can see.
    If you mean that Ubuntu automatically adds, mounts and unmounts partitions on removable drives when e.g. a USB stick is inserted or when you change the partitioning on one and create a file system, that you can configure to work automatically in arch.
    Yes ubuntu automatically adds, mounts and unmounts partitions on internal drives and also removable drives when e.g. a USB stick is inserted  . As you can see in the image i have posted, it shows all my internal drive partitions automatically. No fstab editing nothing. No fiddling with system files so far i have done in ubuntu. For eg i installed arch a month back, the same you can see is automatically seen in the image. All i required was to   update grub  to recognise árch'. Post that when you boot, automatically the new arch partitions are seen. No fstab fiddling anything. Thus tomorrow morning if i create a new partition on my hdd via ubuntu all i require is to reboot post the creation and i will see the new partition asap.
    As you can see in the image all my partitions are seen, the one i want i click it and it gets mounted, if i dont want it stays/gets unmounted. And its not just ubuntu i saw the same in some other distros also like suse,centos,fedora.
    As far as the lxde wiki is concerned, there it is mentioned to install polkit gnome gvfs for mounting and i did the same but nothing still happens.
    So this is what exactly i am asking how to do the same on my arch system. So if i am guided i wil go ahead and work to achieve the same.

  • Can't Mount Windows Partition in OSX After Upgrading to 10.5 and BC 2.0

    I just installed Leopard today, using the upgrade option (as opposed to a clean install). I was happy to see that I could boot into Windows still, and installed all of the Boot Camp 2.0 drivers while booted into Vista. However, I can no longer mount my Windows partition in OSX. While using Tiger, I did use MacFuse and ntfs-3g to get read-write support, but in Leopard, I can't even read. When I try to mount the Windows volume in Disk Utility, I get an error stating that it cannot be mounted. I also do not have the option to perform "First Aid" or "Repair" on the volume.
    I realize that the latest version of ntfs-3g isn't proven to work with Leopard, but I would at least like read access in OSX. Is it possible that some settings were left over from my Tiger configuration that would not allow Leopard to mount the partition? Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Ok. I'm in the club with the same problem...
    Strange things:
    * For the first days after Leopard's install, my BootCamp disk0s3 partition (I'll name it "BillGates") was mounted correctly. Then, after a few days (but BEFORE upgrading to 10.5.1), it disappeared.
    * If I launch DiskUtility "BillGates" is shown, but (in the right device navigation bar) it's named "-n BillGates". If I click the Erase menu, it's named "-nBillGates" (without the space between "-n" and "BillGates"). If I launch SystemProfiler it's named "-n BillGates", but the mount point is "/Volumes/billgates". Can't understand where this "-n" thing is coming from!
    * If I try to mount "-n BillGates" from DiskUtility it doesn't work and the log says "Mount of -n BillGates failed".
    * In the FSTAB there were no instructions: it was empty.
    Now, I tried the MacFUSE-solution: no results (meaning BillGates was not mounted on startup).
    I tried the modify-the-FSTAB-solution: no results (with "BillGates", "-n BillGates" nor "-nBillGates".
    I tried the chkdsk-solution: all tests were ok, but nothing happened.
    The only trick that worked was mounting the partition with Terminal's commands (thanks rtracy!!). It made appear "BillGates" on the desktop (without the "-n thing", that is still present in DiskUtility).
    Problem is at the first reboot, the Boot Camp partition disappears again. Any ideas for a permanent fix?!
    Giangiacomo.
    ADDENDUM: I've tried to move a file from desktop to an unlocked folder in BillGates and System did not copy them. "The item could not be moved because "BillGates" cannot be modified" !!!!!!!!

  • How do I mount a partition at a specific mount point.

    How do I mount a partition at a specific mount point? For example I see a Vol01 disk image, which is a partition of one of my hard drives, sitting on my desktop. Under the disk utility it says that its mount point is /Volumes/Vol01. How do I mount this partition as a file system at /Users?
    Thanks, much appreciated.

    why do you want to do this? it sounds like you want to keep your home directory on an external drive. this can be done without changing the mount point of the external. copy the home directory to the external. then in system preferences preferences->accounts, unlock the lock at the bottom, control-click on your user and select "advanced options." In the resulting popup change the location of the home directory to the external.
    in general to change the default mount point of a drive see this link

  • Time Machine Backup Partition on Ext drive unmounts. Other partition doesnt

    I have a 500 GB OWC Mercury Elite Pro FW/USB drive that has two 250 GB partitions. I use one for storage and one for Time Machine backups and have been using it this way for a long time. The backup partition never unmounts unless I drag it to the trash. The backup partition constantly unmounts after a while.
    I have run Disk Utility and DiskWarrior on the disk and partition many times. They show no problems. I have reset PRAM.
    If the backup partition is mounted when I put the computer to sleep, it is still mounted when it wakes up.
    Nothing will keep the partition mounted indefinitely, while the other partition on the disk is always mounted. Any suggestions?

    Bulk setting Spotlight attributes failed.

    TM was having a problem writing to the backup disk, so the backup failed and ejected the disk.
    Start by repairing it, per #A5 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

  • How can I partition internal HDD after installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp 4.0?

    I recently purchased MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011) model with OS X v10.7.2 Lion installed. I've upgraded to OS X v10.7.3 Lion and updated all other software.
    I require Windows 7 for some Windows based softwares that do not support Mac OS X. Therefore, used Boot Camp 4.0 to install Windows 7 and then tried partitioning single internal HDD  to have 3 partitions (4 total including BOOTCAMP partition). Disk Utility created a 648.5MB partition and then I was able to create 3 other partitions of custom sizes. After applying these changes, I got an error message that said selected volume size is too small. I resized this 648.5MB partion to a custom size and had total 4 partitions, including BOOTCAMP.
    After reapplying these changes, BOOTCAMP partition was removed and I was left with only 3 partitions and empty space.
    I've tried several different ways to partition the disk, all in vein. Is there a way I can partition my single internal HDD after installing Windows 7 Professional via Boot Camp 4.0?

    You can't do what you want with GUI utilities, which will only allow a total of 4 partitions due to the limitation of MBR needed to support Windows. Those four partitions: EFI System (hidden), Mac OS, Recovery HD (hidden), Windows. So with Lion, you only get two visible partitions if you're going to use Windows with BootCamp. You can't make anymore with the included graphical tools.
    If you need more partitions you'll need to use something like GPT fdisk (gdisk) to create the partitions in the GPT first. Then add the Windows partition only to the MBR and flag it as bootable. gdisk can be googled and downloaded for Mac OS X off sourceforge. It is not a GUI tool.
    You should read this:

  • [Solved] unable to mount harddisk partition or flash drive

    After recent updates to gnome 3.4.2,i am unable to mount  harddisk partition or flash drive .I have 2 year old arch installation with gnome.
    When i click on partitions in nautilus,it says "Unable to mount program files \n Not authorized to perform operation"
    Problem is not only while mounting partitions.
    Wherever we need authorization .Like changing date and time ,changing user accounts using gnome UI etc.The unlock button is greyed out permanently.
    even i am not able to shutdown using gnome menus. it just log me out only ,do not restart or shutdown.Though i can shutdown using shutdown command on commandline.
    i run gnome using daemon method. not through xinitrc .
    https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/25031?p … ekit#close
    I found a similar discussion in this bug. But since, i do not use xinitrc, it is unlikely they will help me.
    Can someone be kind enough to help me on this?
    Thanks in advance.

  • I already partitioned my hdd via Bootcamp, supports downloaded, and windows is on an external USB. How can I start installing Windows now? at startup it doesnt show up as bootable device...

    hi,
    I am having a problem installing windows via bootcamp.
    I already partitioned my hdd via Bootcamp, downloaded and copied all the supports for windows, and windows is on an external USB as well. I had to stop the process the other day, so i shut down the computer. Now I am trying to boot from the USB, but I cant get to that point where the computer should restart and windows would start installing.
    . After restarting, holding command, it doesnt show up as bootable device.
    How shall I move forward? My disk is already partitioned, and if i start the whole process from the beginning, it wants me to partition again - although I already made a 100GB partition for windows.
    Please help me out.
    best,
    Zoltan

    So, here is what happened when I tried to make it.(sorry for quality, i had to take them by phone)
    At first when I opened it I saw that I could simply resolve it just by stretching the arrow at the bottom, giving the 100 GB back which I partitioned before via Bootcamp. At this point options was not available.
    I didnt do it because you mentioned earlier that it might be not designed to install windows.
    The second thing I tried I choose 1 Partition from Partition Layout. This time Options were available but I didnt see anything like GPT, the onces that are optionable are on the screenshot.
    What do you think how shall I move on? I was thinking to give it a shot with option 1, just stretch it back and try everything from scratch.

    Reinstall MacFuse with the one from http://www.tuxera.com/mac/macfuse-core-10.5-2.1.9.dmg. If that doesn't work, you can use Paragon NTFS for Mac 9.0 which has been designed to work with Lion.

  • 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).

  • Xfce4 not detecting other partitions[SOLVED]

    I have installed arch linux with xfce4, wine, java, libreoffice, opera and some other packages. The system is working well. However, I am not able to solve following problem:
    The file manager is not showing other partitions of the disk drive. I think they can be added in /etc/fstab file but is it possible for system to detect them and show them so that I can mount them if I need to (as I have seen in other desktop environments like gnome on ubuntu and kde on slackware)?
    I have tried to check the arch wiki (which helped a lot while installing all of the above) but not able to find solution. Please guide me in the right direction. I am really impressed by Arch linux and all the experts must have worked very hard to produce this fine distribution.

    exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startxfce4
    It worked well. I can now access all partitions.
    However, if I open thunar directly, I can see all partitions on the left sided pane. Here, I have to click to mount the partitions. This mounts but gives a message that I do not have permission to open this partition. Then I have to give command 'sudo thunar' . This instance of thunar does not show any partitions on the left sided pane but if I can open the /media folder and access all mounted partitions. Why does 'sudo thunar' does not show any partitions on left sided pane?

  • After update udev mounts all partitions automatically (but shoudn`t)

    Here goes: after updating udev from 167-2 to 168-1, it started mounting all partition at boot. No rules (the list and the rules are the default ones) seem to include this, and google said automounting MUST be set up by user.
    Downgrading fixes the issue, but I try to keep the system up to date, so this is not an option. Also I do not want to disable udisk mounting by polkit, since I want to keep the option of mounting them via KDE.
    Can anyone help please?
