Al= l I get is the error I posted in the original message. My point about seein= g the zpool on Linux was that the enclosure is working fine. Apologies if I= was not clear that the disk were not accessible on FreeBSD . I thought tha= t was evident from the error. Again sorry for the confusion. My fault for n= ot being clear on the issue.=20 To clarify: I plug the HX4R into my FreeBSD 10 system to a USB3 port but I = can not see the disks ( 1TB Dell Branded Western Digital) I get the followi= ng errors found in dmesg :=20 ugen0.2: at usbus0=20 umass0: on= usbus0=20 umass0: SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks =3D 0x0000=20 umass0: Get Max Lun not supported ( USB _ERR_TIMEOUT)=20 umass0:3:0:-1: Attached to scbus3=20 (probe0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): INQUIRY.
