UNIX: How to mount a USB drive in Solaris 8+

This is for machines that are in runlevel 3 (aka...running volmgt).

1. Plug in the USB storage device

2. Wait for the volume manager to detect the device. You'll know when this has been accomplished when links are created in /dev/dsk that point to usb devices.

3. Disable the volume manager ("/etc/init.d/volmgt stop").

4. Choose the appropriate device to mount from /dev/dsk.
example: mount -F /dev/dsk/s2:c

This is what always works for me. :)
