Toni,

Thanks for your help.

"camcontrol stop 0:0:0:0" and "camcontrol eject 0:0:0:0" give me "Unit
stopped successfully"  When I unplug the USB cable, FreeBSD recognizes
the fact and gives me:
#umass0: at hub0 port 1 (addr 2) disconnected
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0): lost device
umass0: detached

When I plug the USB cable back in I am back to the same ol' problem:
umass0: In system Design USB Storage Adapter, rev 2.00/11.05, addr 2
umass0: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT
umass0: BBB bulk-in clear stall failed, TIMEOUT
umass0: BBB bulk-out clear stall failed, TIMEOUT
over and over again then
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): got CAM status 0x4
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): fatal error, failed to attach to device
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): lost device
(da0:umass-sim0:0:0:0): removing device entry

I was reading through the rest of the man page for camcontrol but it is
not clear to me that there is another command in camcontrol.

Any ideas?

this is normal. 4.8 first tried 6 byte scsi commands. as the messages
says, for this device 10 byte scsi commands are required. the default
changed in 4.9 from 6 to 10 bytes for usb devices.

you should stop the drive before removing it (camcontrol stop 0:0:0).
see camcontrol(8).

when you stop the device (camcontrol), then remove it, reattaching
should work.

man 8 camcontrol

if you share your data between windows and freebsd msdosfs is the right
fs. but be aware i had problems with huge partitions and msdosfs see:
