Mount USB stick on an ASA 5505?

Hello,

I have an ASA 5505 and the built in flash is pretty small and I need to put 3 .pkg on it for Anyconnect 4.

I formated an USB Stick (4GB) to FAT32 and put in the USB Port 2 on the back and rebooted the firewall.

But in the filemanager I see disk0 and disk1, but disk1 does not work, doesn't list anything and I can't create folders on it.

Can I mount the USB stick manually or something?

Kind Regards.

The USB port on the 5505 is not a supported file storage location.

On the newer 5500-X series (including the 5506-X) you can do that.

Oh, I see, that sucked. Well, then I'll have to replace the flash memory.

One wonders why then that Cisco put three of them on the 5505.
