Don't have a clue as to the type of drive. I bought it at CompUSA over a year ago. On the case, it simply says: USB2.0 2.5" slim It works fine under Win XP. It is an IBM hard drive within the case. But I realized last night that I am having similar problems with a 40 Buslink external hard drive, connect by USB plug, which I use all of the time. It did recognize it during the installation process, but I hadn't checked it again until last night. I posted this a minute ago, but I think the problem is the SSH program. This was the 1st time that I had it hooked up after installing the system. This is a drive that is usually recognized by any operating system, and was also recognized by FBSD when I had it installed before. (I know someone is going to say that I shouldn't have changed it....) Maybe I am missing something here, or have forgotten something, or haven't read something. I have 3 FreeBSD books and have printed out the new online manual. I'm trying to mount it using: mount_msdosfs /dev/da0 /usb0 I have the '/usb0' directory created in my '/' dir. I also have the following in my fstab: /dev/da0 /usb0 msdos noauto 0 0 I am getting an error from this line when I try using 'mount -a'. I'm trying to remember the error, but it referred to file system type. This drive is formated as a fat32 file system.
