Sorry for bothering everyone with this. I figured out what was happening. I'm not sure if this Compact Flash card came with a DOS filesystem on it or if my camera created one initially and did it incorrectly. At any rate, I found that creating a file in the top directory made the other files appear! Using this method I was able to save the information I had on the card and then reformatting the card seems to have created a new, correct, msdos filesystem this time. I don't see the pcbmap errors anymore. Like I said above, sorry for bothering everyone. I'm new to Compact Flash. I've now learned something useful. I'll go away now... /raj To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
