I am attempting to clone a drive by connecting the prospective "copy" drive via usb. I've just recently upgraded to FBSD 8.2 Here is what I get when I insert the drive; Jun 18 14:36:29 3s1 kernel: da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0 Jun 18 14:36:29 3s1 kernel: da0: < > Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device Jun 18 14:36:29 3s1 kernel: da0: 40.000MB/s transfers Jun 18 14:36:29 3s1 kernel: da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present Jun 18 14:36:29 3s1 kernel: (da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): READ CAPACITY(10).

I also read that mounting drives via usb have to be done with the -a msdosfs option because they are seen as SCSI drives. Wondering how I would go about mounting this drive - right now it's an old FreeBSD drive which I just want to wipe.
