[c-nsp] ASR9900 - Copy files from USB key

Little follow up.
On a ASR9906 6.3.3 (32bit) the usb key comes up as usb: but on 6.3.3 (64-bit) it's disk2:
Copying the 6.3.3 migration files from a USB Key was 182 seconds, with HTTP it was around 1 hour. (1.3 G File)
Doing a install add source 6.5.3 64-bit from a USB Key was 15 minutes and using http was an 1 1/2 hours. (1.5 G File)
So sourcing files from a USB key are 4x times... Which is to be expected.
The bandwidth to the HTTP server is 100M and <30msec latency, but the circuit was never maxed. For some reason coping from a HTTP server is just super slow...

Thanks Guys!!!
It’s showing up as disk2: using a 4G USB Key formatted as FAT32
Works on 9906 running 6.3.2 64-bit, 6.5.3 64-bit
Going to try installing the software via a USB key next week. Right now it’s taking about 1 ½ Hours to upload the 1.3G iso’s using http download. Painfully slow. And don’t let your session timeout.

If you do a "dir ?" it should show you the possabilities... often "usb0:". The size of the usb stick matters sometimes. Try a small < 8G stick.

I've definitely copied files from a USB stick onto an ASR9001, so I can't imagine why you wouldn't be able to on a 990x platform. Pretty sure I did it on a 9006 with RP880s, but it's been awhile.
The trick is usually figuring out the correct device name. In my travels I've seen "usb:", "disk2:" ... ymmv.
