Hello,
I am having trouble trying to figure out how to mount a usb jumpdrive or similar product in Solaris 10. I have a good understanding of the mount command, it is just trying to figure out what I am supposed to mount.I can't seem to find what was assigned to the jumpdrive when I plugged it in. Does anyone know where I can find a good guide on this topic?I'm used to the BSD/Linux way of doing things.
this is what I do ,
1) check /var/adm/messages to make sure sd attaches to the usb device
here i've just plugged in my dell axim.

Dec 29 11:15:41 timu-home genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] sd5 is /pci@0,0/pci1179,1@1d,1/storage@1/disk@0,0
Dec 29 11:15:41 timu-home genunix: [ID 408114 kern.info] /pci@0,0/pci1179,1@1d,1/storage@1/disk@0,0 (sd5) online
Dec 29 11:15:41 timu-home genunix: [ID 314293 kern.info] device pciclass,030000@2(display#0) keeps up device sd@0,0(disk#5), but the latter is not power managed
so I can see that sd5 is the target driver instance that is controlling my axim.
then run rmformat as root to get the /dev/rdsk/cXtXdX number to mount
# rmformat
Looking for devices...
1. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c6t0d0p0
Physical Node: /pci@0,0/pci1179,1@1d,1/storage@1/disk@0,0
Connected Device: Softick Card Export0001
Device Type: Removable
Bus: USB
Size: 488.7 MB
Label: <None>
Access permissions: <Unknown>
2. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0p0
Physical Node: /pci@0,0/pci-ide@1f,1/ide@1/sd@0,0
Connected Device: TOSHIBA DVD-ROM SD-R2412 1431
Device Type: DVD Reader
Bus: IDE
Size: <Unknown>
Label: <Unknown>
Access permissions: <Unknown>
so /dev/rdsk/c6t0d0p0 is the device to mount.
now at this point you might well find that some
media manager has mounted up the device for you.
( the later the solaris version the better the media managers)
if not you want to do something like ( note the :c)
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c6t0d0p0:c/mnt
# ls /mnt
