Many, if not most, of us still have this misconception that OpenSolaris does not write on, or even read from, NTFS partitions. This, of course, is not true. To enable r/w of NTFS partitions, simply download the ASntfs-3g-1.5012 tar.gz file (or an update thereof) from www.sunfreepacks.com , then install the three packages in the order as specified in the included README file.
To mount an NTFS partition, say a USB disk c8t0d0, do the following command: pfexec ntfs-3g /dev/dsk/c8t0d0p1 /mnt To unmount, do the usual: pfexec umount /mnt Note: for first time sunfreepacks.com users, you must download and pkgadd the three packages (GNUbase, GNUgettext, and GNUlibiconv) separately listed at the top of each page. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
