Mount primary prtition. And first logical drive in an Extended DOS partition
If I have got this scenario hard disk has been prtitioned like below :
Code:
It is specified as device:drive where drive is either the DOS logical drive letter (c through z) or a drive number (1 through 24). Drive letter c is equivalent to drive number 1 and represents the Primary DOS partition on the disk; drive letters d through z are equivalent to drive numbers 2 through 24, and represent DOS drives within the Extended DOS partition. mount -F pcfs device:drive /directroy-name To mount the first logical drive ( d: ) in the Extended DOS partition from IDE0, in a directory /forum ,,,we use: mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0d0p0:d /forum. If I want to mount c primary DOS partition FAT32, in a directory /thread,,,,,we use: mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 :c /thread. Why do I need to specifiy the p0 in the first mount while I have to specify s0 ? |
I haven't mount a partition in Solaris and don't really know anything about it.
I am just curious that you are not expecting Solaris needs a mechanism to distinguish mounting a primary partition from a logical partition? I am interested in your first mount statement as the Windows d: would have been regarded as the 3rd logical partition by both Dos/Windows and Linux but you have called it as the first logical partition in Solaris. |

Primary partitions are already specified with p<number>, no need to add a suffix to access them.
