I have some disk formatted as ufs, but it seems to have the same problem... Even the same disk, the same situation happens. e.g) 1. insert ZIP(ufs formatted) in drive 2. mount /dev/wd2c /mnt 3. (ok) 4. umount /mnt 5. eject the disk 6. mount /dev/wd2c /mnt /dev/wd2c on /mnt: Input/output error So, I am using it as a small secondary disk(IDE zip is very fast) mounted only when boot. Of course Win95(OSR2) works nicely. I guess that IDE driver of FreeBSD lacks removable media support..
