Try that, and then come back to the list if that doesn't fix your problem. -- Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jennifer" To: Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 4:28 PM Subject: mount USB storage device Dear FreeBSD hackers, Though I just started to learn and use FreeBSD less than one year, I started to love it's powers and stability. However, I have one question need your help here if you get time and willing to have me. I bought a USB memory chip (64 Mb capacity). It works fine in any windows PC. But I tried to mount it in my FreeBSD4.3 box. I read some tips from the internet that some people use the following command to mount it as mkdir /mnt/usb mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb So I tried this way. First, I insert my memory chip into a USB port on FreeBSD4.3 box. The dmesg.boot shows : umassQ: USB Solid State Disk rev 1.10/1.00, addr 2 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 da0: Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 Device da0: 650kb/s transfers da0:63MB (129024 512bye sectors 64H32S/T63C) Then I tried to mount it as mkdir /mnt/usb mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb But the console shows: da0:( umass-sim0:0:0:0):READ(06),cbd:800010 da0:( umass-sim0:0:0:0):ILLEGAL REQUEST ASC:20,0 da0:( umass-sim0:0:0:0):Invalid command operation code da0:reading primary partition table:error reading fsbn0 msdos: /dev/da0s1: input/output error So it seems the mounting is not successful. So I tried this way: mount /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb This time the console shows: da0:reading primary partition table:error reading fsbn0 msdos: /dev/da0s1: input/output error I know there must some thing wrong with my mounting command, but I do not know what it is. I understand you people are real FreeBSD gurus, but not sure you have time to help in such trivel thing. Still, I hold my breath to waiting for your reply.
