Here are some other links on mounting NTFS partitions in the regular Sun version of OpenSolaris:
http://ritwikghoshal.blogspot.com/2008/06/open-solaris-part-vi.html Quote: "Mount ntfs partitions : I have followed the same way to mount local ntfs partitions as I did in SXDE 9/07 (Check this post). I executed "fdisk /dev/rdsk/c4d0p0" to get the partition table. (last line of my /etc/vfstab is something like : "/dev/dsk/c4d0s1 - - swap - no -"). From the partition table I found that c4d0p1 is a ntfs type partition. I mount it in a local directory and it's working fine !!!" The post he was referring to in "check this post" was this one: http://ritwikghoshal.blogspot.com/2008/04/today-i-mount-my-ntfs-partitions-in-my.html And here is a quotation of part of that post: Today I mount my ntfs partitions in my solaris system (presently I am using solaris express developer edition 9/07). [ This method is also applicable for SXDE 1/08 and OpenSolaris 2008.05 ]. Here I am giving you a step by step instruction for the process : 1) Install the FSWpart package Download : Click here. Uncompress: gunzip -c FSWpart.tar.gz | tar xvf - Install: pkgadd -d . FSWpart 2) Install the FSWfsmisc package Download : Click here. Uncompress: gunzip -c FSWfsmisc.tar.gz | tar xvf - Install: pkgadd -d . FSWfsmisc 3) execute the following to identify your ntfs partitions , then press 6. #fdisk /dev/rdsk/c1d0p0 I got a result like : Total disk size is 14593 cylinders Cylinder size is 16065 (512 byte) blocks Cylinders Partition Status Type Start End Length % ========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== === 1 IFS: NTFS 0 3186 3187 22 2 Active Solaris2 3187 7132 3946 27 3 IFS: NTFS 10320 14592 4273 29 4 EXT-DOS 7133 10319 3187 22 SELECT ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: 1. Create a partition 2. Specify the active partition 3. Delete a partition 4. Change between Solaris and Solaris2 Partition IDs 5. Exit (update disk configuration and exit) 6. Cancel (exit without updating disk configuration) Enter Selection: 6 # note the digits before IFS: NTFS. In my system c1dop1 and c1d0p3 were ntfs partitions. 4) Make a mount point. #mkdir /mnt/windowsa (and #mkdir /mnt/windowsb) 5) execute the following command according to your partition no. #mount -F ntfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1d0p1 /mnt/windowsa (and #mount -F ntfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1d0p3 /mnt/windowsb) 6) This step is optional. you may perform this step if you want to mount a partition during system startup. #gedit /etc/vfstab Now you need to add one line for each partition in the end of this file : /dev/dsk/c1d0p1 - /mnt/windowsa ntfs - yes - (and /dev/dsk/c1d0p3 - /mnt/windowsb ntfs - yes -) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
