Hi Managers,
I am trying to hook up an external disk via USB to a SunBlade 100
running Solaris 10. The disk is meant to be carried and attached to
other systems (like Linux and Windows), so I don't really want to put
a Solaris label on it, but rather a plain FDISK label, which would be
recognized by those other systems. But I still want to create a UFS
filesystem to be used with Solaris, in one of the FDISK partitions,
along with an NTFS system in another partition (not really that I want
it, but that seems to be the only thing the MS W* system will work).
And that is something I just can't accomplish. Manuals only describe
creating UFS filesystems under Solaris disk labels, and FAT32 systems
under FDISK labels. I tried different ways, but cannot make `newfs'
work with an FDISK partitioned disk. Is this just plain not possible?
Is the any documentation that describes such procedures?
The situation is further complicated by the fact, that I don't really
want to run the disk through USB on a SunBlade (who would), but
through a Firewire interface that the disk also has. I managed to get
formatted Firewire disks recognized, so I am hopeful this will work
once I format the disk the way I want.
Any hints will be welcome.
Thanks,
