According to Absolute FreeBSD, 2nd ed, which I have in front of me, newfs invoked by sysinstall, which I used to create the slice and partition it (p 241). Anyway, I now try running newfs in terminal, but it throws up some errrors: # newfs /dev/da0s1c /dev/da0s1c: 194474.3MB (398283416 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048 using 1059 cylinder groups of 183.77MB, 11761 blks, 23552 inodes. super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: newfs: wtfs: 65536 bytes at sector 160: Invalid argument # newfs /dev/da0s1c /dev/da0s1c: 194474.3MB (398283416 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 2048 using 1059 cylinder groups of 183.77MB, 11761 blks, 23552 inodes. super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: 160, 376512, 752864, 1129216, 1505568, 1881920, 2258272, 2634624, 3010976, 3387328, 3763680, 4140032,newfs: wtfs: 65536 bytes at sector 4516384: Invalid argument I tried it several times; the errors seem kinda random, since they vary each time I run the command. Could it be that the chipset of this USB device, JMicron, is not entirely supported by FreeBSD? The reason I ask is because this appears to be an issue under Linux; cf, http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3751 Yes, I am well aware it is a different OS (!); I only mention it in case there is overlap in the codebase for this particular chipset. -- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl
