Re: Missing devs...
Hi > So now to my question! How do I avoid this dual mounting? I have the same problem with my memory card reader. The necessary da1s1 device node slice for my SD memory card is not created until after it has been probed during the attempt to mount it. The only exception to this is if the card is already inserted when the system first boots up. Presumably there must be a way to automatically probe the USB device/card and create the slice so you can mount it when it is first inserted? I am wondering if /etc/usbd.conf would be of assistance here. Can you get the usbd daemon to automatically "probe" a device for filesystem slices during the "attach" stage?

Maybe clumsy but it works for me! In my usbd.conf I have: device "Sony Ericsson W810i" devname "umass[0-9]+" vendor 0x0fce product 0xe042 attach "sleep 5 ; /sbin/mount -t msdos /dev/da1 /mnt ; /etc/rc.d/devfs restart" As I said, this works for me but it seams to be a bit stupid that this kind of workaround is needed...

Yes, indeed. I was thinking about doing a similar workaround, but surely there must be a better way of doing this. We need a way for mount to automatically probe the device for filesystems first before attempting to mount the slice. Anyone got any suggestions? Just out of interest, during bootup, what command is executed to probe the devices? If I put a memory card in my reader before booting the system up, the filesystem slices on the card are detected, the device node[s] are created and I can mount it straight away. This is the command I want, rather than having to run a mount command that we know will fail just to create the nodes. Aren. pgp55SXv76OLk.pgp Description: PGP signature

I've not been following this thread too closely, but I think I've had the same problem in the past. I currently get around it by not leaving my media readers plugged in (they're both external USB readers). I insert my media card then plug in the reader and have no problems. I *think* true > /dev/da1 will get devfs to show the slices, but I can't find my old post that has that little bit of info in it. I always thought the device should trigger and event when media was inserted, and that the event should trigger devfs to show the slices Hope that provides insight, Micah ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
