USB Mount issue in Solaris 10
Hi All,


Smilie

I had an issue with the USB in Solaris 10 Ultra SParc machine.

I am able to mount the USB in my machine using the mount command.

# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0s0:c /mnt

The problem is when i copy a file from my local hard disk to the USB using the " cp -p " command , the file permissions are getting changed in the USB drive.

Can somebody please help me.

Thanks in advance.

pcfs has no support for handling owner or group id's, hence you losing you file acl's when you copy across.

If you don't mind sharing the usb storage device with other OSes, nothing forbids to create an UFS or ZFS filesystem on it. Then the file owner/group/permissions will be preserved and even ACLs should you use them on the original file system.
