Hi 9fans,

How do I set up and manage external storage devices in Plan 9?  I would like to attach a USB thumb drive to move files.

Move to where? I.e. what destination OS?

I want to copy text files from a Windows PC to a Plan 9 computer using a USB thumb drive.

With 9Front, it should show up under /shr/usb automatically.

Format the thumb drive as a FAT32 filesystem and stick the files
there.  On the plan9 side, see dossrv(4) and examine /bin/c: for
an example of what to do.  You'll need to adjust the device path
to match the usb device location.

I think most systems have a script called usbfat: that looks for
a FAT partition on a USB storage device and mounts it on /n/usb.
