The device works well with Windows 2000 and Mac OS X 10.3 . The USB card to which I attach the memory stick serves an external hard disk without problems, so the fault shouldn't be with the USB controller card. On attaching the memory stick, I get the messages umass1: Super Talent Flash USB 2.0 Flash Drive, rev 2.00/20.10, addr 3 GEOM: create disk da1 dp=0xc6abec50 da1 at umass-sim1 bus 1 target 0 lun 0 da1: Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device da1: 1.000MB/s transfers da1: 123MB (252928 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 123 C) I can mount the filesystem (written by a Windows 2000 system) and see the contents on the device with ls. However, when trying to read a file, cp /mnt/usbstick/somefile /dev/null there's a message cp: /mnt/usbstick/somefile: Input/output error After that, umount /mnt/usbstick/ takes a long time to proceed (about a minute) and causes the messages (dmesg): umass1: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT umass1: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, TIMEOUT umass1: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, TIMEOUT umass1: BBB reset failed, STALLEDi (da1:umass-sim1:1:0:0): Synchronize cache failed, status == 0x4, scsi status == 0x0 Opened disk da1 -> 5 Opened disk da1 -> 5 Opened disk da1 -> 5 Opened disk da1 -> 5 The first three messages starting with "BBB" aren't always there. I also used /stand/sysinstall to re-partition the memory stick and tried newfs -O1 /dev/da1s1c from the command line to put a filesystem on the device, but after some output from newfs I also got those Input/output errors. Searching with Google on the web and on Usenet, and also in the FreeBSD mailing lists and the PR database, I found nothing useful. Now I have several questions: - Should I provide more information? If yes: which information? - Has anyone had experiences with the above-mentioned memory stick? - What can I do/try to make the memory stick work? - Should I enter a bug report? - Do you have recommendations for other USB 2.0 memory sticks which work with FreeBSD 5.2.1 ? It would be nice to send your replies also by private mail because I'm not subscribed to the list. Stefan
