[SunHELP] USB flash drive on SunBlade 100

[BERTHOLD Jean]

Hello,

I try to use a 256 MB flash disk under Solaris 8 on a SunBlade 100.
I cannot find any documentation about USB at Sunsolve.

how to mount and manage USB disk devices under Solaris 8 or 9 ?

When I connect the usb device, I can see in the /var/adm/messages :

Before connecting the usb device :

root at zanzibar # cd /dev/usb
root at zanzibar # ls -l
total 6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Feb 19 2002 hid0 ->
<mailto:../../devices/pci at 1f,0/usb at c,3/mouse at 3:mouse>
../../devices/pci at 1f,0/usb at c,3/mouse at 3:mouse
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Feb 19 2002 hid1 ->

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jan 25 2002 hub0 ->
<mailto:../../devices/pci at 1f,0/usb at c,3:devctl>
../../devices/pci at 1f,0/usb at c,3:devctl
root at zanzibar #

After connecting the usb device:

root at zanzibar # ls -l
total 8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Feb 19 2002 hid0 ->
<mailto:../../devices/pci at 1f,0/usb at c,3/mouse at 3:mouse>

../../devices/pci at 1f,0/usb at c,3/storage at 2:scsa2usb
root at zanzibar #

Mount:

root at zanzibar # mount /dev/usb/mass-storage0 /mnt
mount: /dev/usb/mass-storage0 not a block device
root at zanzibar #

What is wrong in my mount command ?



Thanks for your help
