Guys There might be more informed and advanced technical solutions .but this is what I do. I have only tested sundisks in VDI for native sessions we advised users to use only approved USB keys. I am guessing that you are not using VDI ?? and running srss directly off Ubuntu
Hot desking with cards and usb inside VDI works as a charm with any filesystem and nearly with any keys that Linux supports natively. Associating a card with unix uid provides a consistent view and does solve many problems. I am not sure about pseudo.* tokens though ... May be the same behaviour would apply to the native sessions on Ubuntu ?? It was easier to make it work inside Ubuntu guest then W7 guest. (only using VirtualGuests add ons iso) To make it work in VDI you need this line in /etc/modules usb-storage Perhaps it's might be a good idea to try this entry on Ubuntu server if you run srss only off Ubuntu. I agree that consistency with different USB keys was and may be still is a moving target. On Solaris 10 for native JDS sessions I have this entries in .bashrc export USB_HOME='/tmp/SUNWut/mnt/<username>/unnamed' alias usbl='utdiskadm -l' alias cdusb='cd $USB_HOME' alias usbumount='utdiskadm -u $USB_HOME' This is too simple and works with the keys we support. For anything else you might need to script around the issue. It worked for a wile, until someone purchased a key which was not tested. We advised every user to wipe off a partition table and format the key manually with only one primary partition. It works nearly 95% of time. My srss runs on solaris 10. To make everything to work for vdi and JDS users all I had to do is to make solaris 10 to act as a client to OpenLDAP, which I use as directory server. May be a similar approach would help things on Ubuntu server ? What I am suggesting is not a native or a supported configuration, but it works for me.
