I just installed Solaris 11.2 - and it is a bugger. How do I mount an extra HDD that is now formated to NTFS through gparted
it keeps telling me I don't have any ntfs on this laptop. it has two hdds, /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb1 (Linux lingo) Solaris is installed on primary hard drive back of it. then other one I want to keep ntfs so I can reinstall Linux on the rest of my primary Hard Drive then share that extra space hard drive between the two.
root@solaris:/# mount -F ntfs /dev/dsk/c3t1d0p0 /mnt
mount: /dev/dsk/c3t1d0p0: FSType ntfs is not installed on this system.
I see that Unix is not liking anything other than WIndows... 
It looks to me like it is saying that you haven't installed the software needed to mount NTFS filesystems on your laptop. Have you checked with Oracle to see if there are Solaris 11.2 packages that you can install to allow it to mount NTFS filesystems?
haha I must be spoiled from using Linux - I got to add extra packages to be able to mount anything else? (rhetorical question) so what packages do I have to DL and install. this thing has a GUI for looking up packages to install, but right now I installed Linux again, so I could have something that worked 100% --
Haven't had time yet to find out how to put Solaris into a LILO or Grub2 Linux yet -- I've been busy redoing my Slackware 14.1 distro --
I did find on the internet something on sourcefourge to install and use them, but it was to make them READ ONLY -- I don't want that --
