Overview
Steps
Solaris 10 doesn't seem to understand FAT32 filesystems. FAT16 works as expected.
Solaris 10 x86 / SPARC
Insert the USB key in one of the USB slots.
mkdir /rmdisk
/etc/init.d/volmgt stop
/etc/init.d/volmgt start
mount | grep rmdisk
It should be there.
If the above doesn't work please try
/etc/init.d/volmgt stop
(In Solaris 10's Single User boot mode you do not have to stop volmgt)
iostat -En
Look for your USB device.
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p0:c /mnt
mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c1t0d0p0:c /mnt
Secondary way to mount the USB
cd /dev/rdsk
iostat –En
c5t0d0 Soft Errors: 2 Hard Errors: 0 Transport Errors: 0 Vendor: USB 2.0 Product: Flash Disk Revision: 1.00 Serial No: Size: 0.13GB <130023424 bytes> Media Error: 0 Device Not Ready: 0 No Device: 0 Recoverable: 0 Illegal Request: 2 Predictive Failure Analysis: 0
devfsadm -C
ls -l c*0 | grep usb

mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c5t0d0s0:c /mnt
How to unmount the USB
fuser -c -u /mnt
/mnt:
umount /mnt
Solaris 10,latest update has no volmgt, also ls -l c*0 has no usb as result (what to do in that case), but with iostat -En I have a recognizable usb-stick at c6t0d0. For my situation it is just out of touch. Maybe someone can update it?
