For diagnostics, "by the book", simple and step by step: You could first check dmesg ouput atter plugging in the USB device. It should show the steps of recognition properly: USB device ---> mass storage ---> direct access. Typically that's the last few lines in dmesg output. ugen4.3: <Sony> at usbus4 umass1: <Sony Storage Media, class 0/0, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 3> on usbus4 da3 at umass-sim1 bus 1 scbus4 target 0 lun 0 da3: <Sony Storage Media 1.00> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device da3: 40.000MB/s transfers da3: 3826MB (7835648 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 487C) You can easily see those steps represented here. If all this is met, you should have /dev/da3 (in this case) in /dev. Depending on partitioning, there may be other files like /dev/da3s1. One of them is to be mounted. Try per command line first, then check if your /etc/fstab does reflect those settings, e. g. # mount -t msdosfs -o ro /dev/da3 /mnt # df -h /mnt Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da3 3.7G 3.4G 352M 91% /mnt # umount /mnt Please report back and provide the output of the commands you entered (just to make sure it's not blocked by permission issues or typos). :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
