From AIX 6.1 release notes:
"The following USB flash drives are supported for use with AIX 5.3 with 5300-09 and AIX 6.1 with 6100-02:
* Lenovo USB2.0 Essential Memory Key, part number 41U4944
* Kingston 4GB DataTraveler, USB2.0
* SanDisk 4GB Cruzer Micro Flash Drive, USB2.0
Note:
The AIX USB-host controller supports only USB1.1 on AIX 5.3 with 5300-09 and AIX 6.1 with 6100-02. All of the supported flash drives function with USB1.1.
These flash drives are configured with logical names such as flashdrive0 and flashdrive1, and they present both raw and block special files. For example, the raw special file for flashdrive0 is /dev/rflashdrive0, and the block special file is /dev/flashdrive0.
Only the ISO file system (read-only ISO9660) is supported on these drives. However, you can create a system backup on the drives by using the tar command, cpio command or the backup or restore archives. You can also use the dd command to add ISO images to the drives. These images can be used in read-only environments."

MOUNT_CHFS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     MOUNT_CHFS(8)

NAME
mount_chfs -- mount a CHFS flash file system SYNOPSIS
mount_chfs DESCRIPTION
Mounts a flash file system from a flash(4) device. CHFS file systems can be only mounted from flash devices. For regular block devices like SSD drives or USB drives, please use a regular file system. The file system will be created during the first mount. CHFS stands for Chip File System. EXAMPLES
mount_chfs /dev/flash0 /mnt SEE ALSO
flash(4), fstab(5), mount(8), flash(9) HISTORY
CHFS was originally called ChewieFS during development. The name was changed to avoid legal issues and to have a more neutral name. AUTHORS
CHFS was developed at the Department of Software Engineering, University of Szeged, Hungary. BUGS
CHFS has a few known bugs as of 2011. Writing the FS full can cause problems. Truncating a file and growing it again can cause the new bytes not having all zeroes, but filled with the old content instead. BSD
