Robert, on SmartOS the „USB key“ is not really the USB key, but a ZFS filesystem. [root@ivy ~]# df -h /usbkey/ Filesystem Size Used Available Capacity Mounted on zones/usbkey 5.5T 12M 1.7T 1% /usbkey Is that different in SDC? Or, said another way, is „4gb.img“ in CoaL R/W instead of R/O? (Don’t have CoaL in front of me ATM) Thanks. Dirk > There are a few options here.
