Re: How do I mount a USB hard drive?
Its a FreeBSD partition from another box. However the drive itself is not showing up when I do a "usbdevs -d -v". This is the problem I am having. I know how to mount and all that stuff, just not exactly what I need to do to get FreeBSD to see the drive itself.

Re: How do I mount a USB hard drive?
That's what I started with... I have everything in my kernel that is mentioned on that page. Nothing is appearing when I connect/disconnect the drive.

What filesystem has the drive been formatted with? If its NTFS, I suggest you re-format the drive using FAT32 because you don't have NTFS support in your kernel config, and even if you did, the drive will not be of much use to you in FreeBSD as NTFS support is not all that great. 2. What's the mount command you're using to mount the drive? I use the following to mount my external USB2 drive: # mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/ext And it works perfectly with both USB and FireWire, better under FireWire, if you ask me. ;-) -Assad ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
