Hi Prabit Well let me give you a even simpler solution. It worked really well with me. Visit http://ocean1.ee.duth.gr/SolarisX/ [Lots of cool Solaris binary packages are available here!] and first download and install the following prerequisite packages:
1. GNUbase [pkgadd -d GNUbase.pkg] <http://ocean1.ee.duth.gr/SolarisX/GNUbase.pkg.gz> 2. GNUgettext [pkgadd -d GNUgettext-0.16.pkg] <http://ocean1.ee.duth.gr/SolarisX/GNUgettext-0.16.pkg.gz> 3. GNUlibiconv [pkgadd -d GNUlibiconv-1.9.2.pkg] <http://ocean1.ee.duth.gr/SolarisX/GNUlibiconv-1.9.2.pkg.gz> Then download ntfs-3g-1.5012<http://ocean1.ee.duth.gr/SolarisX/ASntfs-3g-1.5012.tar.gz>[ NTFS-3G <http://www.ntfs-3g.org/> is a stable read/write NTFS driver.] The archive includes three packages and has been compiled in an OpenSolaris snv_99 box. Extract the archive and you'll get three pkg files SUNWfusefs.pkg, SUNWlibfuse.pkg, ASntfs-3g-1.5012.pkg. Install packages in this order: # pkgadd -d SUNWfusefs.pkg # pkgadd -d SUNWlibfuse.pkg # pkgadd -d ASntfs-3g-1.5012.pkg That's it! You can start using "ntfs-3g" to mount your NTFS partitions! Become root "#" first and issue "format" command to see the disk number and issue "ntfs-3g" command to mount as illustrated below: [Results from my notebook] alok at opensolaris:~$ su Password: alok at opensolaris:~# format Searching for disks...done AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS: 0. *c5t0d0* <DEFAULT cyl 3914 alt 2 hd 255 sec 63> ["DISK NUMBER"] /pci at 0,0/pci103c,30d9 at 1f,2/disk at 0,0 Specify disk (enter its number): ^C [WARNING: Press Ctrl+C here and not enter. Otherwise you may format you Solaris partition] alok at opensolaris:~# ntfs-3g /dev/dsk/c5t0d0p1 ~/Desktop/test [To mount my 30GB Windows Vista C: drive, an NTFS partition] You don't at all require the FSWpart and FSWfsmisc utilities for mounting NTFS partitions. Notice that the disk number should be entered exactly by you at ntfs-3g /dev/dsk/*c5t0d0*p1 ~/Desktop/test. [Usually after that disk number to locate NTFS partitions typing p1, p2, p3...... suffices p1 means partition 1]. For FAT32 partitions you need not install anything. The mount support for them is inbuilt in OpenSolaris's latest version. I mount my 90 GB FAT32 F: drive of Windows XP, the first FAT32 partition in my Hard disk[with 30GB for OpenSolaris] by issuing: # mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c5t0d0p0:c /mnt [c for first FAT32 partition if you have more, change c to d,e,f... etc and specify different mount points] You can also issue the command like ntfs-3g or simple mount by prefixing pfexec if you don't want to become "su" everytime like: alok at opensolaris:~$ pfexec mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c5t0d0p0:c /mnt alok at opensolaris:~$ or alok at opensolaris:~$ pfexec ntfs-3g /dev/dsk/c5t0d0p1 ~/Desktop/test alok at opensolaris:~$ And notice that it is not *rdisk* in prtpart/*rdisk*/c0d0s0 -ldevs, it should be *rdsk*. Also there should be a whitespace between "prtpart" command and "/*rdisk*/c0d0s0". Also it should not be "/*rdisk*/c0d0s0", it should be like "*/dev/rdsk/citjdkpl*", where *i* = 1,2,3,4......., *j* = 1,2,3,4......., *k* = 1,2,3,4....... , *l* = 1,2,3,4....... Remember at the end "*s*" should not come like /*rdisk*/c0d0*s0* as "*s*" means "slice", which designates a Solaris slice [analogous to partition in Windows]. It should be like "*/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0p1*". *The portion "c0t0d0"* *should be your disk number in exact*. Still I suggest you not to use FSW.....use NTFS-3G. It has NTFS read/write support. Later you can edit your /etc/vfstab file for enabling automatic mounting of your NTFS and FAT32 drives. I hope this helps you.
