It would be slow and not very efficient, but this would work.
thanks so much for the reply reborg,
this is actually my first ever venture in solaris unix and I just recently install this on my old athlon xp 1400. :0)
so far everything is going alright, I have backup and put all my mp3's on this box and its really doing great detecting my network, sound and video.
By the way, I hope you can help me further on this.
Since I got a backup of my files in /export/home, I've made a mistake of putting too much disk space on this filesystem.
I read about the format command and everytime I use format->partition->press the partition #->modify ... and reduce it from there, but when I get out to the prompt its still in 8gb which I reduced it to 1gb.
Hi, all you unix people. I am a pretty advanced windows user, but I am curious about unix. Is there any reason I should attempt to acquire some form of unix for my home computer system? What sort of things is unix useful for? Unix is open source, right? Assuming that to be the case, I infer that... (3 Replies)

E2TOOLS(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual E2TOOLS(7)NAME
e2tools - utilities to manipulate files in an ext2/ext3 filesystem
DESCRIPTION
E2tools is a simple set of GPL'ed utilities to read, write, and manipulate files in an ext2/ext3 filesystem. These utilities access a
filesystem directly using the ext2fs library. I wrote these tools in order to copy files into a linux filesystem on a machine that does not
have ext2 support. Of course, they can also be used on a linux machine to read/write to disk images or floppies without having to mount
them or have root access.
Supported functionality:
e2cp copy files
e2mv move files
e2rm remove files
e2mkdir
create directory
e2ln create hard links
e2ls list files/directories
e2tail output the last part of a file
In general, to specify a directory or file on an ext2 filesystem for the e2tools utilities, use the following form:
filesystem:directory_path
The filesystem can be an unmounted partition or a regular file that's been formatted to contain an ext2 filesystem. In general, if a com-
mand takes multiple file names on the command line, if the first one contains an ext2 file specification, the rest of the files are assumed
to be on the same filesystem until another one is explicitly stated:
/tmp/boot.img:/tmp/file1
/tmp/file2
/tmp/file3
/tmp/boot2.img:/tmp/file4
Files 1-3 are on /tmp/boot.img and the last file is on /tmp/boot2.img
SEE ALSO e2cp(1), e2ln(1), e2ls(1), e2mkdir(1), e2mv(1), e2rm(1), e2tail(1).
