>I'm wondering whether USB hard drives will work out of the box with >FreeBSD. Anything I should be concerned about? I've been using them for backup and they're great. Support was flaky in 5.3 but it's been very reliable in 5.4 and 6.0. I would suggest using GEOM to label them so they have the same device name in /dev regardless of what USB port they're plugged into. R's, John
