There are probably alternatives, such as using MTP, and as I said: There are several settings that you need to check in the device itself. The key procedures are: a) enable regular USB direct access storage - will then work as expected b) enable MTP USB storage - use corresponding tools I can't imagine that smartphone vendors make it artificially hard to access USB storage to a point where they require proprietary programs and drivers... but you never know; I don't trust those shaving mirrors any further than I can throw them. ;-) Maybe this can help: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-doc/2012-November/020801.html I wasn't able to locate the mentioned section in the current version of the handbook. :-( Also check The FreeBSD Forum (the web forum) for posts regarding how to mount a smartphone, this will probably be helpful. As I mentioned, there are also MTP-related tools for FUSE (sysutils/fusefs-simple-mtpfs) which might actually work as intended. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
