Dear Stephan,

Thanks for your help.

Even with the two commands the automatic mounting does not work. However, I could mount the key manually when I remembered that DOS puts the FAT32 in the first partition, not on the entire disk. Thus "mount /dev/dsk/c5t0d0p1 /mnt" worked. I had tried erroneously  "mount /dev/dsk/c5t0d0p0 /mnt".

Thus I could read the key. However, as said earlier automatic usb mounting does not work. Thus I tried

# pkg refresh --full

# pkg update -v

*When rebooting the new environment, lightdm was put in maintenance mode, apparently some files are missing. Could the person who put the new lightdm package check and complete  it and tell us when we may reinstall it - Thanks to him or her.*

Thanks again and best regards

Marc

Hello,

On most openindiana systems I used, as soon as I inserted a usb key, it was automatically monted and displayed on the desktop.

Apparently it is not any more the case, and I cannot even mount it using mount or rmmount (maybe I do not do it the right way).

If I try rmformat, I see the usb device:

1. Logical Node /dev/rdsk/c5t0d0p0

    Physical Node ...

   Connected Device: USB DISK 2.0 PMAP

   Device type Removable

  Bus USB

   Size 7,7 GB

   Label <unknown>

   Access permission  media not write protected


What should I do to mount this usb key ?

Thanks

Marc


Hi!

You may want to try this hint from David Stes:

# svcadm restart system/hal
# svcadm enable rmvolmgr

..but this issue  should be solved since March.
Yes but I cannot update this system from 202110, because it has no network because the driver is on the usb key...

Maybe your USB stick is formatted differently now? FAT32 or EXFAT or NTFS or whatever?
It is a FAT32, but, I tried also an old stick (also FAT32) that did work on openindiana in the past. I even tried a zfs SATA ssd trough a sata to usb2 adaptor. The OS supports all of these (according to /var/adm/messages and rmformat), but even with the two above commands, I cannot mount anything so far via usb

Regards,

Stephan
