I have the output of rmformat -l to guide me but I'm not sure what is
the correct path. There are two shown. In order to write to USB I
need to be exact with path.
Tail of rmformat -l output:
[...]
3. Logical Node: /dev/rdsk/c8t0d0p0
Physical Node: /pci at 0,0/pci103c,1306 at 1d,7/storage at 7/disk at 0,0
Connected Device: TOSHIBA TransMemory 1.00
Device Type: Removable
Bus: USB
Size: 14.8 GB
Label: <Unknown>
Access permissions: Medium is not write protected.
I suspect it is the rdsk address shown: /dev/rdsk/c8t0d0p0
Can anyone confirm that I can use usbcopy in this way:
usbcopy OI-2020.10.iso /dev/rdsk/c8t0d0p0
It feels odd writing to an rdsk address but the other one shown feels
odder still:
/pci at 0,0/pci103c,1306 at 1d,7/storage at 7/disk at 0,0
It finally dawned on my pea brain I could probably have a look with
`ls -l' and get some ideas.
Turns out they are really the same address (nearly)
The rdsk address /dev/rdsk/c8t0d0p0 is a symlink pointing to:
/dev/rdsk/c8t0d0p0 ->../../devices/pci at 0,0/pci103c,1306 at 1d,7/storage at 7/disk at 0,0:q,raw
with `:q,raw' qualifier added at the end
I still would like some verification please.
