The procedure is: hotplug the usb flash memory device, and wait (2-3 seconds) for gnome automounting the device. An icon for the device should appear on the desktop. When this doesn't work it is one of - storage device is for some reason not readable with the solaris usb drivers - filesystem (e.g. NTFS) is not supported by Solaris Things to check when it doesn't work: The usb storage device should be listed in "iostat -En" output. "hal" should have autodetected the device, it should appear in "eject -l" output. Filesystems on the stoage device can be identified using the fstyp utility, e.g. fstyp -v /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p1 where "c0t0d0..." is the usb storage's device name that was listed in iostat -En output. Manual mount of fat filesystem: mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:c /mnt -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
