Solaris can easily read/write FAT to FAT32. It can be made to read/write NTFS
if you install additional software.
Assuming that you have a great backup of everything it might be easier to just
re-install. Forget about using the gparted that comes with OpenSolaris and use
the Gparted Live
can NOT read / write data to NTFS
This probably does not answer any of your questions but the only way I found to
keep OS at NTFS is to reinstall it first to that partition. Then install the
open Solaris OS; its grub will pick back up that now nonactive boot layer. This
is a start over
thanks and you're right did not answer the question.
Currently have 3 partitions. during install OSOL partition had to be named
solaris 2.
It installed itself there. With Mathias help, corrected boot loop problem
permanently.
My problem now is, OSOL will NOT recognize or mount the other two
ok to recap: installed 2010.03 developers edition, because others did not
recognize
my ethernet. This was easier than trying to find or patch drivers.AS I couldn't
locate the proper drivers.
Made permanent fix to the boot loop problem- thanks to Mathias.
Now I have a new problem as I don't
So since GPART won't let me just format it, How do I do it? which one FAT or
NTFS
I'm not really much help but I have attempted multi-boot on a single machine or
actually three separate machines in my case. For an internal HD I believe your
choice would be either UFS or ZFS on Solaris-open. I
ok an update.
I used Gparted which comes installed with OSOL 2010.03. Deleted the extended
partition. Re created it as a Primary. Only format option was NTFS.
About 25 different format options are listed, but only one can be used. Don't
understand why.
Disk / file manager still can NOT see this
