DOS Partitioning

/dev/hd1 Caviar 2540 HD 1048 cylinders 16 heads 62 sectors 540.8 MB
partitioned and formatted in FAT32. BIOS/fdisk have been updated
appropriately and machine was consequently rebooted. Typing Dosfsys &
produces:
/dev/fd0 was adopted as /dos/a.

Yet /dev/hd1 was not adapted by Dosfsys. I pushed it a little bit
further by typing Dosfsys c=/dev/hd1 & and I got in response:

%1 + 58 Running Dosfsys c=/dev/hd1

Dosfsys: Invalid DOS partition.

Dosfsys: Error mounting drive



I attempted different DOS partitions: t4, t6 etc. with invariable
results.
What’s wrong here?

Does the disk have a partition table? Sounds like it does.
You need to issue a “mount -p /dev/hd1”, to get the /dev/hd1t6 or
whatever the type actually is, then Dosfsys will recognise it.

Hi Sergei,

Dosfsys does not support FAT32. There is a utility called Fatfsys which is in the QNX4.25D release.

For more information see the followng QNX Knowledge Base entry:
