depending on OS version -

I haven't been running vold on the Solaris 10 machines I'm playing with - and on them, I simply plug in the memory stick into either the onboard USB 1.1 connection, or into my Adaptec USB 2.0 interface

once connected, you should be able to "rmformat -l" to see the devices have changed -

from my own experience, I've only been able to see/use fat32 formatted drives with the mount -F pcfs (mountable rw or ro) commands, and ntfs formatted drives with mount_ntfs (mountable ro, downloadable from web), but you can still mount the drive on your sparc/x86 machine and put ufs/zfs/vxfs on it - and since it's removable format media, you will only really be able to use the "whole" drive versus laying down your own vtoc on the disk (unless somebody knows how to get around that one) - regards - jeff
