Andriy, yes, doing "true > /dev/da0" works for me. I had to do it three times, however, before my Fujitsu DynaMO 2300 U2 finally recognized the medium I had inserted. After doing that, all the missing partitions (da0a, da0c) were there. Thanks for this hint! It's just a little inconvenient, because I have quite a few USB mass storage devices, which I only power up on demand. Therefore I usually don't know which device node (da0, da1, ...) is being assigned to each device. Normally this doesn't impose any problem because I use GEOM labels to mount these devices. Of course, the above workaround doesn't help with that... Cheers, Alex
