Strange to ressurrect such an old thread that the OP seems to have disappeared from anyway...
Linux does not expect an MBR. In fact, by default, when you initialise disks for use by Veritas Volume Manager, it uses Sun disk labels (which surprised me), e.g.
The endianness of the data on the filesystem is only an issue if you are trying to read it programmatically (i.e. reading multiple byte values), and can be fixed programmatically if desired... however ASCII will still be in the correct order.
Just that the Subject says.
I am looking for a C compiler for Linux x86 that will allow me to compile a C source code file and the resulting binary will be able to run on a Sparc running Solaris.
Thanks. (2 Replies)

Hi,
I've been searching for answers for two days and didn't find any definite answers on building RAID1 on SPARC. The main problem was with SILO (Sparc Improved boot LOader): can it boot from RAID partition or not. So I just tried it and it works.
I've done this on Debian, but it should be... (0 Replies)
Hi Oracle Linux users,
You can probably guess from the title what the question is:
Does anyone know if Oracle Linux (the Unbreakable variety I think that is) comes in a
SPARC release or, if not, will there be one some time soon ?
Many thanks,

prtvtoc(1M) System Administration Commands prtvtoc(1M)NAME
prtvtoc - report information about a disk geometry and partitioning
SYNOPSIS
prtvtoc [-fhs] [-t vfstab] [-m mnttab] device
DESCRIPTION
The prtvtoc command allows the contents of the label to be viewed. The command can be used only by the super-user.
The device name can be the file name of a raw device in the form of /dev/rdsk/c?t?d?s2 or can be the file name of a block device in the
form of /dev/dsk/c?t?d?s2.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-f Report on the disk free space, including the starting block address of the free space, number of blocks, and unused parti-
tions.
-h Omit the headers from the normal output.
-m mnttab Use mnttab as the list of mounted filesystems, in place of /etc/mnttab.
-s Omit all headers but the column header from the normal output.
-t vfstab Use vfstab as the list of filesystem defaults, in place of /etc/vfstab.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Using the prtvtoc Command
The following example uses the prtvtoc command on a 424-megabyte hard disk:
example# prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s2
* /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s2 partition map
*
* Dimension:
* 512 bytes/sector
* 80 sectors/track
* 9 tracks/cylinder
* 720 sectors/cylinder
* 2500 cylinders
* 1151 accessible cylinders
*
* Flags:
* 1: unmountable
* 10: read-only
* * First Sector Last
* Partition Tag Flags Sector Count Sector Mount Directory
