[9fans] how to connect an usb drive

[Rudolf Sykora]

Hello,

please, I have an external harddrive which I use in linux and there,
in dmesg, I see this

Should I be able to read this drive from plan9?
I had a few attempts which were unsuccessful. Can you write a few
commands which should do?

Thanks

make sure you see it:
usb/probe

ls /dev/sdU*
if it is not there (your usbd does not have disk support built in) run
usb/disk

if it is a fat, you can run

usbfat:

to directly mount it
if not, take a look at it (it is a script)
and usb(4) to understand how things work.
