USB hotplug finally works Today I was pleasantly surprised to see the latest putback to SNV, our next Solaris release (soon on a OpenSOlaris source server near you)

Before this putback you could hotplug/eject devices into devices (SD cards and such in card readers, floppies in floppy drives) but you had to restart vold to mount USB pen drives. But now, you can insert them, remove them, etc, and they're mounted and unmounted automatically.

This was really one of my most wanted features and its great to finally have it. Will it make an update? I certainly hope so; but you can always try Sun Express. (2005-04-19 13:11:40.0) Permalink Comments [3]
