My guess is that you've mixed two filesystems on it, a UFS on the entire stick, and a FAT fs on a slice. The AMD64 cannot mount the UFS because of the reverse byte order. On the Sparc, are you sure you actually enabled fdisk partitions? Otherwise, it would not be surprising that it doesn't recognize the slice. Both filesystems likely mutually corrupt each other when you try to write to them. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
