What is the best way to attach an USB harddisk to Solaris 10u7?
I know some program is running to auto detect such a device (have
forgotten the name, because I do almost all work on OSOL (hal).
do I use that program or disable it an manualy attach the drive to
the system?

Hi Dick,
The Solaris 10 volume management service is volfs.
If you attach the USB hard disk and run volcheck, the disk should
be mounted under the /rmdisk directory.
If the auto-mounting doesn't occur, you can disable volfs and mount
it manually.
You can read more about this feature here:

#svcs -a | grep vol has told me that ;-)

I don't want the automounting to occur, so I diabled

I then did a rmformat to learn the device name, followed by a zpool
create archive /dev/rdsk/devicename
It is better to edit /etc/vold.conf since vold is used for other
purposes as well
