Brand new USB pen.

So while I was shopping for caffeine supplements in the *super* market I saw a 2GB USB pen for 5$AU. As it had "Linux support" on the front over I though I would buy it out of principle and the fact that I need some flash storage.

Here is what I did when I plugged it in:

Intel(r) Pentium(r) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz

[edward@SXCE-Workstation]:/export/home/edward:~>pfexec zpool create MYDATA c2t0d0

[edward@SXCE-Workstation]:/export/home/edward:~>zpool status
pool: MYDATA

[edward@SXCE-Workstation]:/export/home/edward:~>zfs list | grep -i MYDATA
MYDATA 69K 1.83G 18K /MYDATA

I can only conclude one thing from this.
Solaris needs to support auto mounting of usb pens that are formated with the ZFS FS.
