True. It is because of the licensing issues. Sorry, dont have any more
information on that.

pcfs is the module that supports FAT. The way you specify the device to
be mounted is as follows :
To mount a primary partition :
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1d0pN <mount point>
where, N is 1,2,3 or 4 depending on the *primary partition* on which you
have the FAT. p0 denotes the entire disk. It can never be a device node
for a partition, and hence the error.
To mount extended partitions,
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1d0p0:N <mount point>
where N is d,e,f,g,... depending on the nth logical drive on the
extended partition on which you have FAT.

NTFS - No, we dont have a module yet.
ext2 - We do have one, but it hangs off the web and no promises on that.
Try it out : http://paulf.free.fr/software.html
ReiserFS - No, we dont.
Does that suggest anything ? Please visit :
