It's there. As I said, using a USB 3 *Stick* works fine. It is recogized as 3.0 and the speed is as expected. It's the *Disk* that is not recognized. They're both umass devices. I don't need to boot from that disk, I just want to use it as external data storage. I have recompiled the kernel with "device ada" and put ahci_load="YES" in /boot/loader.conf. When I plug the disk, the log now says ugen4.2: at usbus4 umass0: on usbus4 only once (the old kernel would says so every 20 seconds or so). In contrast, when I plug the stick in the same port, I get ugen4.2: at usbus4 umass0: on usbus4 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus8 target 0 lun 0 da0: Removable Direct Access SCSI-5 device da0: 400.000MB/s transfers da0: 15082MB (30887936 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1922C) and mounting it works. Obviously, for the disk the device nodes aren't created... Is there something different between umass sticks and umass drives?
