Hello:
I have some questions about the little USB flash drives...
Is there a FAQ or some documentation on them? So far I haven't
found much in the Handbook or manpages. Pointers welcome. :)
Do I need any driver(s) besides umass(4) & its required kernel options?
Any differences between 4.x and 5.x support for them?
Apparently they come setup for a FAT32 filesystem - can I format
them for other filesystems (e.g. linux-ext2, BSD UFS/UFS2, MS
NTFS) & expect them to work reliably?
Assuming they work (well) with FreeBSD, how do I properly set
them up for UFS/UFS2? Do I need to fdisk and {disk,bsd}label first?
Any favorite/least-favorite brands/models or recommendations as
to which one(s) to seek/avoid for use with FreeBSD?
Thanks,
-kc
