 Andriy,
 
 yes, doing "true > /dev/da0" works for me.  I had to do it three times,
 however, before my Fujitsu DynaMO 2300 U2 finally recognized the medium I
 had inserted.  After doing that, all the missing partitions (da0a, da0c)
 were there.  Thanks for this hint!
 
 It's just a little inconvenient, because I have quite a few USB mass
 storage devices, which I only power up on demand.  Therefore I usually
 don't know which device node (da0, da1, ...) is being assigned to each
 device.  Normally this doesn't impose any problem because I use GEOM
 labels to mount these devices.  Of course, the above workaround doesn't
 help with that...
 
 Cheers,
 
 Alex
