FAT16 File System Limitation Issue

SunPCi III 3.2.1 software enables you to create emulated drive files as large as 40 Gbytes. However, if the emulated drive uses the FAT16 file system, an inherent limitation in the FAT16 file system makes only the first 2 Gbytes of disk space accessible.

After installing and booting a Microsoft Windows operating system, you can reformat, convert, and/or repartition the emulated drive to another file system such as the FAT32 or NT File System (NTFS). You can also create new partitions, or resize or reformat existing partitions. You can do this by using third-party packages such as PowerQuest’s PartitionMagic or ServerMagic, or by using facilities present in some Microsoft operating systems, such as Disk Management in Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003.

Application Installation to Solaris File System Issues

On supported Microsoft Windows operating systems the Sun File System Driver (SunFSD) does not support the DOS file name Short File Name (SFN) conversion convention. SFN is also known as the 8.3 DOS file name conversion format. When installing some Microsoft Windows applications, the installation can fail because of the DOS file name conversion convention.

Note – When you install new applications on the SunPCi III platform, make sure that you have your Microsoft Windows CD available. The installation program might require files from the Microsoft Windows CD.

The SFN convention converts long file names and directory names with a file name stem longer than eight characters to six characters followed by a tilde (~) and a number. For example, a file name such as THIS_IS_A_LONG_FILE_NAME.DAT could be converted to the file name THIS_I~1.DAT (8.3 SFN convention).
