Hi, I have the same problem with a 500GB USB storage device. After searching the web, I found out that FAT32 (my HD uses this as File system format) is not supported under solaris 8. For the moment I am considering 2 possibilities: A) format my drive in a Unix filesystem B) apply a recommended patch by SUN for solaris 8. How have you solved the problem? Many thanks, Jurgen De Clercq

Made some errors while copy/pasting the above posted message... I have problems to mount a FAT32 file system on a solaris 8 SPARC OS. I can see the raw device under "iostat -En". So far OK. But when I try to mount, it gives an I/O error. "mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2:c /rmdisk/USBDRIVE" Mount directory and su-rights are OK. I already played with vold, but without succes. I also adjusted vfstab; no succes... I would be extremely greatful if somebody could help me ou, as I am breaking my head over this prob since 2 weeks. Greetings, Jurgen

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/80... Is the only solution other than to update to Solaris 10. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you peanut.
