HI all,
I wonder if anyone has a view on this odd problem I have ....
I used FUSE and was able to mount NTFS OK on OpenSolaris. Not quite so
happy on Solaris 11.
I installed FUSE as per this blog :
https://aminsblog.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/mount-ntfs-in-solaris-11/
With my esata drive, all is well and I can mount ntfs (a second
partition has my ZFS backup on it). At least I think all is well - the
esata is in secure storage and I have not tested it recently. I have
however, updated the S11.1 SRU since I first installed Solaris. I hope
I have not broken something.
USB2 drives are not as nice :
Essentially, the disks are discovered and device nodes created (so I can
see them with prtpart, rmformat, fdisk etc) and I can mount the ntfs but :
* mount -F ntfs /dev/dsk/blah - mounts read only
* mount -F ntfs -o rw /dev/dsk/blah - hangs. Can ^c out but thereafter
I cannot even run the first command again without a bounce. Nothing in
messages
Poking around with this and I discovered that when mounted ro (first
command), I can see the FS in mnttab - as a RO NFS (that is, network FS,
not a typo) mount from localhost!!
What the ....?????
Where the hell did NFS come from? And why did it mount ro with default
mount options? Is this how fuse is implemented? As best I can tell,
the kernel part of FUSE is a separate module, not part of NFS, that
talks to the virtual FS framework. I am not cooking up my own FS on top
- I am just using the user land stuff that can handle NTFS.
NTFS were created on win7. Same result with disks from several
manufacturers and all USB ports on the laptop.
TIA
Steve
