Recently, I purchased several Western Digital External Hard Drives to be used for backup purposes. The test unit I purchased worked out of the box, but I am having problems getting the newer ones to work. When they are plugged in to a FreeBSD 5.3 or 5.4 server, I receive the following messages: Nov 8 01:31:12 test kernel: umass0: Western Digital External HDD, rev 2.00/6.02 Nov 8 01:31:12 test kernel: uhid0: Western Digital External HDD, rev 2.00/6.02, addr2, iclass 8/6 This is where my confusion lies. From what I can see the hard drive is detected properly as a umass device, but is also detected as a human input device. And, the da device, which I think I will use to access the device is not created. If I plug my memory stick into the USB port, the memory stick is detected and I am able to access the device through da0. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jay
