SPARCbook Portable Workstation User Guide
The default mount point for MS-DOS filesystems is
/pcfs
. The default
mount point for UNIX filesystems is
/floppy
. Before you stop using
the filesystem on the floppy, you should unmount the disk using the
umount
command:
# umount /floppy
Caution
Do not remove a floppy disk from the drive while the drive is mounted.
Instead, use the
umount
command or the
eject
command, before you
remove the disk.
Refer to the SunSoft Solaris documentation for information about
making MS-DOS filesystems or for further information about the
mount
,
umount
and
eject
commands.

Using a Disk as a Raw Storage Medium
Using the disk as a raw storage medium gains the maximum amount of
storage space available on the disk. You can use standard UNIX
commands to read the contents of a disk by giving the device name as
the input stream. For example, the following command would display
the contents of the disk on the screen:
% cat /dev/rdiskette
A number of commands can be used specifically to archive data to and
from floppy disk and tape devices. For example,
tar
,
dd
,
cpio
and
eject
.
For information about these commands refer to the manual pages.
