Accessing Files From a USB Flashdisk in Solaris 8


I have a usb flash disk with some files that i want to copy into my Solaris 8 system. Once i plug in the flash disk in the USB port am not sure how to proceed.
How does a newbie go about mounting/using the plugged in device????

Not sure it will work with Solaris 8, but with 9 or 10, a simple way would be to run:
Code:
# /etc/init.d/volmgt stop
---> insert your usb key now
# /etc/init.d/volmgt start
Then look in the /rmdisk directory for a directory matching your device (ex: /rmdisk/noname)

If it doesn't works, look the dmesg output, here is what it should looks like after you insert the key:
Code:
