Hi Philipp, 



We are seeing similar problems with USB devices particularly on the 3 (not 2 or 
3+). 



We're engaging with support at the moment to try and see what's happening. 



Cheers, 



Kim

Subject: [SunRay-Users] bug with Sun Ray 3i and many USB sticks 

Hello, 

A customer is experiencing a nasty bug, which seems to affect only Sun 
Ray 3i (1+2 is not affected, dont know about Sun Ray 3). 

I was able to reproduce this bug using Solaris10 (latest Patches) and 
using latest SRSS 4.2 (5.1?) <- i am confused about the versioning to be 
honest, however latest Sun Ray Server Software. 

Setup: Sun Ray 3i + Oracle Solaris -> rays get mapped to Solaris (same 
under Oracle Linux -> mapped to linux with community Kiosk mode). 

Certain USB sticks (mostly Transcend but also other vendors are 
affected) simply do not get mounted or even lead to a power-off of the 
usb ports -> power cycle on ray needed. 

setting "utstorage" into max debug level (-D 20) shows the following:

MBR read failed <--- seems to be the key, under linux it results in: 

kernel: Dev utdisk9: unable to read RDB block 0 

is this a known (firmware) bug? i am currently trying in opening a 
support case at oracle under warranty, but fear this may be considered a 
software (not hardware) issue. 

This customer uses ~30 SunRays in a library (university) so replacing 
the sticks is not an option. 

Regards, 
Philipp
