Hi, I'm trying to mount a 160 GB Western Digital USB 2.0 drive on a FreeBSD 6.2 system. This seemed like it should be relatively simple, but: webmail# mount /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usbdrive mount: /dev/da0s1 on /mnt/usbdrive: incorrect super block OK, it seemed a good chance the USB drive was formatted with NTFS, so I tried: webmail# mount_ntfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usbdrive mount_ntfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument Further reading on mount_ntfs suggested that even if I got it to work, it's not quite what I want: I want read & write access with compressed files supported. dmesg: umass0: Western Digital External HDD, rev 2.00/1.04, addr 2 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <WD 1600BEV External 1.04> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-4 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers da0: 152627MB (312581808 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 19457C) usbdevs -v Controller /dev/usb0: addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x0000), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 powered Controller /dev/usb1: addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x0000), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 powered Controller /dev/usb2: addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x0000), Intel(0x0000), rev 1.00 port 1 addr 2: high speed, self powered, config 1, External HDD(0x0702), Western Digital(0x1058), rev 1.04 port 2 powered port 3 powered port 4 powered Any help appreciated.
