[OpenIndiana-discuss] Mount USB Drive

Bob Palank bob at stlcc.org
Sun Sep 16 19:24:02 UTC 2012


" To do this the quick way type this in the terminal: mount -t auto 
/dev/sda1 /mnt "
Looks like I need to be root or supv  but don't know the password.

What is the Login for SUPV or Root

The required extension pack is installed - or so I think!
The  VBox USB Dialog has both Enable USB Controller and Enable USB2.0(EHCI) 
Contoller checked  and there are no USB Device filters which makes me think 
the pack is installed.

Running FAT32 on the USB ( a Transcend  JF30 /2GB Drive)

Are you running OI as virtualbox slave?  ....  Not sure but
      Oi is running in VBox 4.1.22 which is running under XP Pro SP3


What is the Login for SUPV or Root

TIA
   Bob
