FWIW: vfs.usermount: 1 (Mounting is no problem, usbd does that for me. It's _how_ it's mounted that is the problem) As a side note, the device has a little slider that is supposed to lock the drive from being written to. Does FreeBSD honour this? Is this a software or hardware lock? I'm pretty sure in the above case it is in the unlock position. -- Cogeco ergo sum --Signature=_Tue__21_Oct_2003_07_15_20_-0400_Ufc4VE0hhy0VY1tr Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/lRVQTv5Mxsi/WPMRAtZvAJ42qw7I6D/pOuTAGDd3AyoT5zpTrACghbWE 9tw17ozOfS3tVXPq6hfHc+c= =VFu/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature=_Tue__21_Oct_2003_07_15_20_-0400_Ufc4VE0hhy0VY1tr--
