[osol-discuss] Re: PCFS or other Linux/Solaris Compat. FS
Well, as an example, I mounted my primary windows partition (fat32) on my laptop doing this: mount -F pcfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1d0p0:c /mnt Please note that if you don't have a SCSI hard drive that you don't want to use the devices like c0t0d0p0. The hardest part about using pcfs really is figuring out which device to mount properly, I've never had a problem with it mounting my partition once I figured out which silly device it wanted to use.

Thanks for the info, Frank. The second problem I ran into was mounting the partition in Solaris. I think this is because I just created one primary partition on the fat32 drive, but I should have created a logical partition within that. Does that sound right? I followed the tips on Shouldn't be necessary.

If so, try the ...p[1-4] devices as well as ...p0:[c-z] and/or ...p0:number - the biggest problem with PCFS is that figuring out which device (HAH; don't get me started ...) actually must be mounted :( Yes, I am using Solaris/x86. I may have been getting the mount command wrong and unfortunately I don't have a way to go back and check what I typed because I was booting an OpenSolaris live CD which doesn't save my command history. It wasn't clear to me what I should put after the ':' when all I had was just a primary partition. If I get a chance, I will try it again. I did go back and change the disk to have a logical partition within a primary partition which I got to work. The result, using Linux fdisk, was Disk /dev/sdb: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 1 30401 244196001 5 Extended /dev/sdb5 1 30401 244195959+ W95 FAT32 (LBA) Then, in Solaris, I mounted this with # mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1d1p0:d /mnt Thanks, Haik http://www.sun.drydog.com/faq/9.html#9.10 regarding mounting dos partitions, but I kept getting an error message saying not a valid FAT partition.

[osol-discuss] Download Old Solaris Express versions
Hi, is there any way to download old versions of Solaris Express, specifically snv_36. I was looking at SUN's download site for an old version, but I couldn't find one. The reason I want to use a somewhat old version is to use older source code. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] Sun's July 4th shutdown (US-based employees)
I hope most people know this already, but just in case... Sun will once again be shutting down its US operations next week (July 3-7). The result is that many of the manual operations -- including publishing of announcements and forwarding bugIDs -- the US-based portion of the OpenSolaris team performs will be delayed by a few hours/days or for the entire week. We'll get everything back on track as soon as possible when we return on 7/10. If someone outside of Sun (or the US) is willing to volunteer to push out announcements, let me know...

Re: [osol-discuss] ZFS Boot and Install Opensolaris Project Proposal
Thanks, Tabriz. You have seconds. I'll contact you offline to get you set up.

Without community exposure, we believe that we will be missing out on a lot of great feedback and possible code contributions. To take advantage of all that the OpenSolaris community has to offer, the ZFS boot team would like to propose the creation of an OpenSolaris project to serve as a forum for topics related to ZFS Boot and Install. By doing so, we hope that the community becomes involved in using our project and that we can solve/address any issues that the community requests before our release.

[osol-discuss] Missing bug reports...
Hi! Is there anything wrong with the bug reporting system ? I am missing now five bug reports, including items like - lint doesn't recognize -xstrconst - getcwd() is slow as molasses - ctfmerge as locale issues - one security-related bug and a 5th issue I totally forgot in the meanmtime It would be really really nice to adjust the web form to immediatly send a confirmation email with the form contents to give the people a feedback that the information has been received and that some kind of backup of this information exists (in the form of the email). I am very unhappy since at least one bug report is completely lost (I cannot remember the issue anymore) and I've worked a hour on the getcwd() thing (which means the performace evaluation, background and testcase is LOST).

[osol-discuss] IDE driver attach to pseudo RAID-Controller
Hi, I try to install Solaris on a new machine. This machine contains an IDE controller with some Host-RAID controller - besides that you normally can still access the controller as a plain old IDE controller. But the BIOS has been set to enable RAID functionality (I am not able to change the BIOS settings). So the IDE controller identifies itself as PCI class 01-04-00 (Mass storage RAID controller) instead of PCI class 01-01-00 (Mass storage IDE controller) Excerpt from pciconf -v: pci1166,24a (driver not attached) Hardware properties: name='assigned-addresses' type=int items=30 value=81017010..bc00..0008.81017014..b880..0004.81017018..b800..0008.8101701c..b480..0004.81017020..b400..0020.82017024..fcafe000..2000 name='reg' type=int items=35 value=00017000.....01017010....0008.01017014....0004.01017018....0008.0101701c....0004.01017020....0020.02017024....2000 name='compatible' type=string items=7 value='pci1166,240.1166.24a.0' + 'pci1166,240.1166.24a' + 'pci1166,24a' + 'pci1166,240.0' + 'pci1166,240' + 'pciclass,010400' + 'pciclass,0104' name='model' type=string items=1 value='RAID controller' Is it possible for the Solaris ide driver to still attach to this device?
