NTFS and Solaris

Derek Crudgington in his blog reported about read support for NTFS in Solaris 10:

# wget http://www.belenix.org/binfiles/FSWpart.tar.gz
# wget http://www.belenix.org/binfiles/FSWfsmisc.tar.gz

Untar them, pkgadd them, and you are done. Then simply:

# mount -F ntfs /dev/dsk/c0d0pX /mnt

And nice command to view partitions:

# prtpart /dev/rdisk/c0d0p0 -ldevs

Very good news.

Introduction

I'm going to use this blog to make some notes mainly about Solaris (and UNIX generally). No idea, if it makes sense, but it least it would be easy to me to keep and share my knowledge.

I'm not going to write articles or make any scientific research. From time to time I just run into the problem, or question, or whatever. Then I'm starting to look for the answer and if I got it, I prefer to have it at hand. That's why I'm starting this blog; among other things, I hope records will be indexed by search engines and probably could help somebody who would run into the same problem. But I'm not going to promote the blog.

Any comments either regarding the subject or English are very appreciated.
