Hi, >From the FSWfsmisc readme:- This is the initial release of the fsmisc package that enables access to NTFS and EXT2FS filesystems from OpenSolaris on x86 platforms. Some of the code has been derived from the following project: http://mount-ntfs.sourceforge.net/ HOW TO Install -------------- 1) Install the FSWpart package Download http://www.belenix.org/binfiles/FSWpart.tar.gz Uncompress: gunzip -c FSWpart.tar.gz | tar xvf - Install: pkgadd -d . FSWpart 2) Install the FSWfsmisc package Download http://www.belenix.org/binfiles/FSWfsmisc.tar.gz Uncompress: gunzip -c FSWfsmisc.tar.gz | tar xvf - Install: pkgadd -d . FSWfsmisc Features -------- Ability to mount NTFS and EXT2FS filesystems on primary as well as extended partitions using the userland NFS server approach. The ntfsprogs toolset from the Linux-NTFS project built for OpenSolaris. Allows read/write access to NTFS primary partitions without having to mount it first. The ntfsprogs toolset also provides a library for user programs. The e2fsprogs toolset compiled for OpenSolaris. Dependencies ------------ Needs the SUNWgccruntime package. This should be installed by default on Solaris Express, or will be available on the install DVD. Usage: Mounting EXT2FS ---------------------- To mount an EXT2FS partition you first need to identify logical device name of the partition. Execute /usr/bin/prtpart without arguments to see the physical device name of your harddisk. It will be of the form: /dev/rdsk/cNdNp0. This will also display information about the entire partition table. Note: For more info on prtpart execute prtpart -help Now execute: /usr/bin/prtpart /dev/rdsk/cNdNp0 -ldevs to list out all the logical devices and the partition types. Your Linux partitions will be listed as "Linux Native". Now execute: mount -F ext2fs <logical device name> <mountpoint> to mount the EXT2FS partition.
