Mounting windows and Linux partitions on separate hard-drives


Hi,
I am a complete newbie on OpenSoalris.

I have installed Open Solaris on a normal IDE disk.
I have linux and Windows installed on two separate SATA disks. How do I mount my Windows(FAT32) and Linux(ext3) partitions on Solaris? ( As far as I know Solaris still doesn't support Linux file system...Is it true?)

Thanks and regards,
Vineet

Not any more, you installed it

I guess you mean Solaris Express, as Open Solaris is (currently) only the community and source code name.

by using the mount command or by editing the /etc/vfstab file if you want this to persist between reboots.
Have a look at the mount_pcfs and pcfs manual pages for FAT32 support and my reply to the next question for ext2/ext3.

Reading ext2fs is possible.
