If you are trying to mount the rdsk, you will get a failure because Solaris 
isn't real fond of mounting character devices. Try 
mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0 /mnt/spot
and see what happens. 
However, I don't think you'll get what you want because it doesn't look like 
Solaris is seeing the partitions at all. It's seeing the whole disk. 
If you selected the complete os when you did the install, it should include the 
packages to see vfat partitions. (or maybe it's complete+oem).

Subject: [Solaris-Users] Problems mounting vfat partitions

Hi,

Firs of all I must say I'm new to OpenSolaris so please, be patient with me as 
I came form the Linux world.
;)

Ok, the problem I have is mounting vfat partitions from USB disks.

First I show you the partition table seen by the linux OS.
Is something like that:

Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1               1       12450   100004593+  83  Linux
/dev/sdb2           12451       19929    60075067+   5  Extended
/dev/sdb5           12451       15061    20972826   83  Linux
/dev/sdb6           15062       19929    39102178+  83  Linux

/dev/sdb1 is an ext3 partition
/dev/sdb5 is a vfat partition
/dev/sdb6 is a vfat partition

Well, now in OpenSolaris I get:

# rmformat -l
Looking for devices...
     1. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0p0
        Physical Node: /p...@0,0/pci1028,1...@1d,7/h...@1/stor...@4/d...@0,0
        Connected Device: Maxtor 6 1KSE             1HW0
        Device Type: Removable
    Bus: USB
    Size: 156,3 GB
    Label: <Unknown>
    Access permissions: Medium is not write protected.

I tried several methods to mount this partitions without success.
I have restarted 'rmvolmgr', disabled it and tested... but nothing....

My qüestions are:

* If the disk is '/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0p0' which will be the tag for the first 
logical partition inside the extended one??  ( /dev/sdb5 ) ( which is vfat )
* It seems that vfat partitions in OpenSolaris are supported by default, isn't 
it??


Thanks in advance.
Marc.
