[j-nsp] J-Series and USB storage

[Jonathan Crawford]

Chris,

I've been seeing the same thing one one of my j4350's after upgrading to 8.4R2.4. The only result of a ticket opened with Juniper was that the first tech could reproduce the problem in the lab, the next tech could not, then ultimatly they blamed it on the USB key I was using (even when I used a supported one). I'm hoping it is an issue that will just magically fix itself in the next revision... as I cannot reboot the router just to get it to recognize the USB key to snapshot.

I discovered if I reboot the router after inserting the USB drive, it
sees it (I don't see this listed in the docs anywhere as a requirement).
However, it didn't boot from the resulting USB key - it just said
missing OS (and then after a timeout booted from CF).

I was trying to upgrade to 8.5 (which requires more CF space), following
these directions:

Has anyone done this?

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
