Problem: -------- Cannot mount media (CompactFlash) placed in USB card reader Hardware: --------- USB memory card reader (Lexar Multi-Card Reader for CompactFlash I & II, SmartMedia, Memory Stick, MMC and SD cards). The reader has four slots for the various media. System: ------- FreeBSD 5.0, installed from recent release on CD purchased from BSD Mall. Procedure: ---------- * I plug the reader into a USB port. * Reader is recognized as USB mass storage and=20 placed at SCSI bus 2, device 1, LUN 0. "camcontrol devlist" yields: <PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W4824A 1.01> at scbus1 target 1 lun 0 (pass0,cd0) <Lexar USB Storage-SMC 0180> at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass1) * devfs creates "da0" in /dev * Card reader has four slots and only first (da0) is recognized, so I do: cardcontrol rescan 2:0:1 (and then same for 2:0:2 and 2:0:3) * "camcontrol devlist" now yields: <PLEXTOR CD-R PX-W4824A 1.01> at scbus1 target 1 lun 0 (pass0,cd0) <Lexar USB Storage-SMC 0180> at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass1) <Lexar USB Storage-CFC 0180> at scbus2 target 0 lun 1 (da1,pass2) <Lexar USB Storage-MMC 0180> at scbus2 target 0 lun 2 (da2,pass3) <Lexar USB Storage-MSC 0180> at scbus2 target 0 lun 3 (da3,pass4) * The CompactFlash slot is at 2:0:1 (da1,pass2). "mount_msdosfs /dev/da1 = /mnt/da1" (/mnt/da1 exists) issued as root produces the error: mount_msdosfs: /dev/da1: Input/output error Discussion: ----------- devfs does not produce a /dev/da1s1 or /dev/da1s1a, so attempts to mount = those return an error. I am a newbie to FreeBSD (from SuSE Linux and previously Apple Macintosh)= =2E Is there a way to mount the CompactFlash media in the card reader?
