[OpenIndiana-discuss] Fwd: mounting a usb disk + what's wrong now with lightdm

[Marc Lobelle]

Dear Stephan,

Thanks for your help.

Even with the two commands the automatic mounting does not work. 
However, I could mount the key manually when I remembered that DOS puts 
the FAT32 in the first partition, not on the entire disk. Thus "mount 
/dev/dsk/c5t0d0p1 /mnt" worked. I had tried erroneously  "mount 
/dev/dsk/c5t0d0p0 /mnt".

Thus I could read the key. However, as said earlier automatic usb 
mounting does not work. Thus I tried

# pkg refresh --full

# pkg update -v

*When rebooting the new environment, lightdm was put in maintenance 
mode, apparently some files are missing. Could the person who put the 
new lightdm package check and complete  it and tell us when we may 
reinstall it - Thanks to him or her.*

Thanks again and best regards

Marc

Yes but I cannot update this system from 202110, because it has no 
network because the driver is on the usb key...

It is a FAT32, but, I tried also an old stick (also FAT32) that did work 
on openindiana in the past. I even tried a zfs SATA ssd trough a sata to 
usb2 adaptor. The OS supports all of these (according to 
/var/adm/messages and rmformat), but even with the two above commands, I 
cannot mount anything so far via usb
