fdisk -v -W - /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0p0 | tail -6

pls see

Code:
# fdisk -v -W - /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0p0 | tail -6
fdisk: Cannot open device /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0p0.

i tried this

Code:
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c /rmdisk
mount: /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c is already mounted or /rmdisk is busy
# /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c /rmdisk
mount: /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c is not a DOS filesystem.
#

pls can you advise on why it is saying not a dos filesystem

The reports are inconsistent. Are you sure the flash drive is plugged when you run the commands and is always on the same USB port ?

yes i am sure, the port has always been c2t0d0p0. I have never removed. i was thinking the os system is seeing it but cannot open it.

Try rebuilding the /dev links with "devfsadm -v" then double check these commands work (or not) as root:
Code:
dd if=/dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 | od -c | head -2
fdisk -v -W - /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0p0 | tail -6

Code:
# dd if=/dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0 | od -c | head -2
dd: /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0: open: Device busy
0000000
# fdisk -v -W - /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0p0 | tail -6
fdisk: Cannot open device /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0p0.

Did you run "devfsadm -v" ?
What process is using c2t0d0p0 ? The previous dd worked better.
