I have read every post I could find on line regarding this subject so as a last
resort I am seeking help here. Have a mulitboot laptop w/Windows, Opensolaris &
Linux.
Here is the partitioning scheme:
root at opensolaris:/dev/dsk# prtpart /dev/rdsk/c7t0d0p0 -ldevs
Fdisk information for device /dev/rdsk/c7t0d0p0
** NOTE **
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p0 - Physical device referring to entire physical disk
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p1 - p4 - Physical devices referring to the 4 primary partitions
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p5 ... - Virtual devices referring to logical partitions
Virtual device names can be used to access EXT2 and NTFS on logical partitions:
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p1 Unknown (utility partition for Win7 - PRIMARY)
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p2 IFS: NTFS (Win7 system partition - PRIMARY)
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p3 Solaris x86 (Opensolaris - PRIMARY)
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p4 WIN95 Extended(LBA - LOGICAL)
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p5 Linux native
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p6 Linux native
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p7 Linux native
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p8 Linux native
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p9 Linux native
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p10 Linux native
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p11 Linux swap
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p12 WIN95 FAT32(Upto 2047GB - WANT TO MOUNT)
I have installed all requisite packages mentioned here:
I can mount the NTFS partition:
root at opensolaris:/dev/dsk# mount -F ntfs /dev/dsk/c7t0d0p2 /mnt/win7
root at opensolaris:/dev/dsk# ls /mnt/win7/
autoexec.bat config.sys pagefile.sys System Volume Information
$AVG Documents and Settings PerfLogs Users
Boot Fujitsu ProgramData Windows
bootmgr hiberfil.sys Program Files $WINDOWS.~Q
BOOTSECT.BAK $INPLACE.~TR Recovery
Config.Msi MSOCache $RECYCLE.BIN
My issues are with mounting the fat32 partition. It is listed as
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p12:
root at opensolaris:/dev/dsk# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c7t0d0p12 /mnt/vfat/
mount: No such file or directory
--> This doesn't work because there isn't a corresponding block device:
root at opensolaris:/dev/dsk# ls | grep c7t0d0p
c7t0d0p0
c7t0d0p1
c7t0d0p2
c7t0d0p3
c7t0d0p4
If I search for the fat partition and try to mount I get:
root at opensolaris:/dev/dsk# prtpart /dev/rdsk/c7t0d0p0 -fat
/dev/dsk/c7t0d0p0:d
root at opensolaris:/dev/dsk# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c7t0d0p0:d /mnt/vfat/
mount: /dev/dsk/c7t0d0p0:d is not a DOS filesyste
Opensolaris see the logical partition:
Partition Status Type Start End Length %
========= ====== ============ ===== === ====== ===
1 Other OS 0 195 196 1
2 IFS: NTFS 195 9332 9138 47
3 Solaris2 9333 11291 1959 10
4 Active EXT LBA 11292 19456 8165 42
I have tried every logical mount combination and nothing seems to work. So my
questions:
1) Is there something fundamentally wrong with my layout that is preventing
this (does the fat partition need to be before the linux swap or something?)
2) Can not mount the fat32 if there is already an NTFS partition before it (I
have tried to mount w/out mounting the NTFS)
3) Is there a 2GB limit on the FAT partition (tried mounting when <2GB and got
same results).
Sorry for the lengthy post but wanted to include all relevant info. Any advice
is greatly appreciated!
Thx.
