mount USB

Ok,
I have a rocsecure USB 2.0 hardrive. Currently it is formatted as an NTFS drive.
I need to mount it on solaris and move an oracle dmp file onto it. Will I be even able to format it to a PCFS on a solaris 9 machine. Or do I need to format it FAT-32 first on a windows machine?

steps

/etc/init.d/volmgt stop
format -e
rmformat
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s2:c /mnt

also how do i figure out which device it is... the above is a guess...

thanks

my guess would be solaris recognize the drive has having an 'unknown' file system since it's NTFS, but even so you should be able to format it with whatever that version of solaris can support, either fat16 or fat32. It will simply remove the unknown partition.

i believe under /dev/dsk the volumes attached to the USB storage device will stick out of you do a 'ls -la' and check out the links. its usually "..... usb@x,y..." and c?t0d0s?:c like you said..

for example, this sunfire i'm using has a usb mouse and keyboard, so my thumbdrive mounts as c3t0d0s0:c

yes im on a sunfire as well, so im assuming this one

c3t0d0s2 -> ../../devices/pci@1e,600000/usb@a/hub@1/storage@1/disk@0,0:c


c3t0d0s2, correct?

I used c3t0d0s0:c not c3t0d0s2:c but try both I'm sure one of them will work
