The ":c" syntax needs an fdisk partition tagged with the correct fdisk partition id (for a FAT filesystem); such a partition does not exist.

Try fstyp /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p1 or fstyp /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:1 IIRC, for some reason fstyp /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:c does not work. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
