Problem mounting a second flash drive (only one mounts).
Dave
Edition 1/08 (snv 79). I just bought two PNY 2 GB flash drives. As soon
as I fit one, the file manager opens and shows the drive.
I can see it in df too.
/dev/dsk/c3t0d0p0:1 1.9G 64K 1.9G 1% /media/UDISK
and dmesg shows it:

BUT when I insert the second one, there is a popup which says "Cannot
mount volume". No matter what USB slot the drives are entered, the first
one always mounts. I can mount either drive, but not both at the same
time. This is what dmes shows.

Since I can fit either flash drive into either USB slot, I know both the
drives and USB sockets are ok. BUT if I try to put both flash drives
into the system the second one does not mount.
Any ideas? I thought that since one of them is /dev/dsk/c3t0d0p0:1, so
the other would be /dev/dsk/c??????? But cant see such a device

Any ideas??????????

Have you found any documentation that says flash drives are supported?
If so, and if you are paying for support, you could log a call and maybe
get it fixed.
Otherwise consider yourself fortunate that ONE works. And note that the
Solaris source is available. If all else fails, you can attempt to fix
it yourself!

No, but following my earlier post " ZFS mirror with USB disks on Blade
2000 ??" Ian Colins said using USB sticks was a good way to play with
ZFS. (I was asking about a SPARC, but this is an x86 box.) So I thought
I'd buy a couple and try them, with a view to learning about ZFS.

No I am not.

I was far more painless than I expected. I was rather expecting to have
to find a device file, make a file system on it, but none of that. It
just worked as soon as I inserted it.

Having the source is one thing. Understanding it is another quite
different thing.
Richard B. Gilbert
I agree! I doubt if I could do it myself. Wrapping your mind around
any large piece of code is not a chore to be undertaken lightly. Even
extremely well written and well documented code can require a great
amount of effort, almost equivalent to writing and debugging it yourself!
If you are unable to do it yourself, your remaining options are to pay
someone to do it for you or to resign yourself to using one flash drive
at a time.

You can run run "devfsadm -C" as root to clean up dangling
device links and create new ones.
Do you see the second USB storage device with cfgadm(1M)?
If you add a second, but different type USB storage device,
then does it mount?

First of all you are a few builds behind. I have 83 and its 'ages'
old : >
My laptop has one of these all-in-one ports. I was somewhat amazed to
find
that a Sony Memory Stick auto mounted perfectly. Before I had b57 and
above
and NOTHING happened when I inserted the Memory Sticks.
Not only that but 83b actually installed on a new hard drive,
something the previous
versions always failed to do or if they did would behave erratically
to say the least.
I had to resort to VMWare Workstation on XP to get Solaris to work at
all.
The laptop has a dual core Turion chip and that seemed to cause the
'confusion'
If you upgrade who knows...?

A waste of money. All you need is disk space, mkfile, lofiadm and
zpool to make
a ZFS file system for learning a thing or ten about it.

After a cleanup, /dev/dsk shows the following created today (and I only
bought the devices today).

Not tried. I will try to find another one when I get home. I'm not sure
if I can find the only one I have, which is only 128 MB, so quite old.

I'm using the developer edition. I believe that is the latest developer
edition. I know the community editions go later than this, but they are
not as well tested. However, perhaps I should bite the bullet and
upgrade to the latest community edition. There is a very annoying issue
with the wireless interface on this, which I know has been fixed in
later editions - basically, if wireless is off, the system spills out
something like
Wireless is off
Can't set wireless power
Wireless is off
Can't set wireless power.
Due to this bug, it takes close to 5 minutes to boot.

I've had no problems. I do have Vista on the disk too, but it is rarely
used. It's a 300 GB disk.

Never had any problems like that. My biggest hassle is this wireless
problem if the wireless is off.

Mine is a dual core Intel chip (2.0 GHz).

I have used mkfile for messing around, but I'll have a play with the
sticks too.

It is unclear which one of the above two failed to mount;
but try to (re)configure both of them:
cfgadm -y -c disconnect usb4/1
cfgadm -y -c configure usb4/1
and
cfgadm -y -c disconnect usb4/3
cfgadm -y -c configure usb4/3
