USB storage on the SunRay

My SunRay experience just gets better and better. This morning I decided to try plugging a USB pendrive into the SunRay1 on my desk, and to my utter amazement and jubilation, I had it mounted and working within about 10 seconds. So now, not only can I pick up my session and continue working in our office that's 20 miles up the road, but I have an easy to use, permanent storage that I can access on pretty much any machine that I'm likely to use (until I lose it of course...). This rocks.

The full details are available in the official docs, but for a quick summary: first you need to be using at least SunRay Server Software 3 (where support for these devices was introduced), and then, assuming the server is configured properly, you can just plug your USB storage into the SunRay and it will be magically mounted under /tmp/SUNWut/mnt/<userid>/, which a quick call to /opt/SUNWut/bin/utdiskadm -l should confirm. To unmount, just call /opt/SUNWut/bin/utdiskadm -r <device>.
