Unable to mount JumpDrive on Solaris 8 - Get Interrupted System Call message
Hi,
I am trying to mount a Lexar Elite Jump Drive (128 Mb) on Solaris 8 systems. I have several Solaris 8 workstations (Sun Blades and SunFire 280R's), and they all exhibit the same problem.
When I plug the JumpDrive into the USB port, the device seems to be recognized based on the following info in /var/adm/messages;
Apr 1 14:20:28 starsms2 usba: [ID 855233 kern.info] USB-device: storage@3,scsa2usb0 at bus address 2
Apr 1 14:20:28 starsms2 usba: [ID 349649 kern.info] LEXAR MEDIA, JUMPDRIVE ELITE, 33000000226000005754
Apr 1 14:20:28 starsms2 genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] scsa2usb0 is /pci@8,700000/usb@5,3/stor
Apr 1 14:20:28 starsms2 genunix: [ID 408114 kern.info] /pci@8,700000/usb@5,3/stor
The device files get created as /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s*. When I try to mount it using the following command, I get the error as follows;
# mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c3t0d0s2:c /mnt
Interrupted System Call
The device then goes offline as per the following message in /var/adm/messages;
Apr 1 14:21:20 starsms2 usba: [ID 593373 kern.info] /pci@8,700000/usb@5,3/stor
scsa2usbp = 0x30008b1efd0

Apr 1 14:25:02 starsms2 genunix: [ID 408114 kern.info] /pci@8,700000/usb@5,3/stor
Apr 1 14:25:02 starsms2 genunix: [ID 408114 kern.info] /pci@8,700000/usb@5,3/stor
If I then remove and reinsert the JumpDrive, the exact same happens again. I have tried this on 3 different systems, and they all act the same way.
I called Sun on this, and they basically indicated they do not support JumpDrives.
Any ideas ?
Cheers,

https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/20880104/How-Can-I-Mount-a-Thumb-Drive-on-a-Solaris-Machine.html and the links posted there. I've managed to mount my unbranded (Dabsvalue) 256Mb usb drive on 280R's, can you try a different model usb drive? It may be that the JumpDrive does something a bit non-standard. I notice on their site there is no mention of linux support, so that doesn't look good for Solaris
