[oi-dev] OI no longer automounts USB sticks

[stes@PANDORA.BE]

Although that OI 2020.04 and 2021.04 install both on this Dell Precision 3640 system,
 I have noticed:

reboot: Not all drivers have implemented quiesce(9E)
        Please see /var/adm/messages for drivers that haven't
        implemented quiesce(9E).

The driver that is indicated there is

Jun 27 14:18:24 wapper genunix: [ID 884581 kern.warning] WARNING: xhci has no quiesce()

It would be interesting to compare to an older system which uses the ehci or ohci USB driver.


Maybe OpenIndiana running on a PC without the xHCI behaves differently.
