My guess is that some important property is missing. Its possible that this is specific to USB 3, but I wonder if it might be something else? I don’t have one to play with, so I can’t really look, but I’d have a close look at other disks and compare device tree values — especially the populated device properties. I suspect that’s where you’re going to find the problem.
Is it possible to point format at the raw /devices/ nodes?

The devfsadm -i sd didn't work either. From dmesg, it's missing the "scsi" line like "sd? at scsa2usb0" Who's responsible for this?

It feels like devfsadm or the devlinks stuff isn’t working. Try devfsadm -i sd ? -- Garrett D'Amore Sent with Airmail On May 12, 2014 at 1:17:34 AM, Gabriele Bulfon via illumos-discuss ([email protected]) wrote: Hi, a customer bought a UBS3 Tohsiba external disk, and plugged it on an XStream/illumos machine.
