I don't know of any articles, but here is what I do: $ uname -r 8.0-STABLE $ ls /dev | grep ^da $ (note that there is nothing found) ...and then plug in the thumb drive and do it again: $ ls /dev | grep ^da da0 da0s1 $ ...and now I can mount it. Since this drive is a FAT32 filesystem, I use mount_msdosfs. Having an entry in /etc/fstab is a convenience but not strictly necessary. > Dmesg of the booted units shows da1 mostly but this identity cant be > accessed on any of them. After pluggin in my thumb drive, my dmesg shows da0: <SanDisk Cruzer 1.02> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers da0: 7629MB (15625216 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 972C) Note that while dmesg only shows da0, my `ls /dev` also shows da0s1. You may need to use /dev/da1s1 or similar (depending on what you see from `ls /dev`) in your mount command. Try a few permutations. HTH, and maika'i pomaika'i. -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging </> ]
