    pls im trying to mount a external hard drive on my aix machine. i googled and learnt that i should type cfgmgr to see my device. I did that and nothing was returned. From further googling I was told I need to be in AIX 5.3 ML09 or have the USB filesets for ML09 installed, pls wat does this mean and how do i get the file set to install? Another website I needed to install fileset 'devices.usbif.08025002' Pls help

    NB. my hard disk file system is FAT32.

    First you can search if you have usr fileset installed:

    lslpp -L | grep -i usb

    If not fileset are installed you can download it from fix central or from AIX DVD.

    Third AIX not support FAT Filesystem. You can user jfs2 on your hdisk and mount in a linux box (jfs in Linux is egual to jfs2 in AIX because jfs(1) was not ported to linux).
