solaris way if interpreting devices?
Hi all,
I wanted to know the solaris way of interpreting devices?
I mean i understand all those c0t0....stuff but when i start mounting devices , most of the times i get either a I/O error or it says that the directory does not exist.
eg:
I have a external usb hub to which i have connected a pen drive and a usb receiver(for the mouse), 2 other slots are empty, but when i make use of /etc/vfstab or /etc/mnttab to find out the devices currently mounted or all the present devices currennly attached to system...
I am unable to find out what i need..
Also wanted to know if mounting can be done while running on a live cd?
I guess my understanding of these interpretations needs some polishing..
Please do help me
Thanks

Hi there again,
Running Solaris 10 with built-in Java. Seems to compile and run fine.

usb-devices
usb-devices(8) Linux USB Utilities usb-devices(8)
NAME
usb-devices - print USB device details
SYNOPSIS
usb-devices
DESCRIPTION
usb-devices is a (bash) shell script that can be used to display details of USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them.
The output of the script is similar to the usb/devices file available either under /proc/bus (if usbfs is mounted), or under /sys/ker-
nel/debug (if debugfs is mounted there). The script is primairily intended to be used if the file is not available.
In contrast to the usb/devices file, this script only lists active interfaces (those marked with a "*" in the usb/devices file) and their
endpoints.
Be advised that there can be differences in the way information is sorted, as well as in the format of the output.
RETURN VALUE
If sysfs is not mounted, a non-zero exit code is returned.
FILES
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*
The part of the sysfs tree the script walks through to assemble the printed information.
/proc/bus/usb/devices
Location where the usb/devices file can normally be found for Linux kernels before 2.6.31, if usbfs is mounted.
/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices
Location where the usb/devices file can normally be found for Linux kernel 2.6.31 and later, if debugfs is mounted.
