Hello all,

I have been trying for the past week to mount a 2 TB usb storage device that I built. It shows up when I type

cd /dev/rdsk
ls -l c*0 | grep usb

I then tried to mount it with this command (vold turned off)

mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c4t0d0s0:c /mnt

it says no device or address.....

so I typed iostat -En

got this

usb_sd1 Soft Errors: 3 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0
Vendor: Product: Combine 4HDD0702 Revision: 1278 Serial No:
Size: 2000.43GB <2000431448064 bytes>
Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0
Illegal Request: 3 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0

I need HELP!!!

Thanks

Jared

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
