Thanks for any help. Depending on the file system, you might need to try which mount option you'll need. For example, if this is a DOS (FAT) formatted device, something like # mount -t msdos -o ro /dev/da0 /mnt might work. Check the partitioning (if you need to access it vial /dev/da0 or /dev/da0s1). The file system type can be identified with the command # file -s /dev/da0 or applied to /dev/da0s1 (as mentioned above). In some cases, it's required to "re-taste" the device. The command # true > /dev/da0 will do this. As I said, the file system type matters. If it's NTFS, install fuse and use its NTFS module. Also look at "man mount" if there are options that you'd find handy, such as -r (or -o ro), as well as -m, -M, or -o noatime. When everything works as intended, create an entry in /etc/fstab. It could look like this: /dev/da0 /media/sd msdosfs rw,noauto,noatime,-m=644,-M=755 0 0 See "man 5 fstab" for details. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
