Bye Matthias I have USB 3.0 on my new computer, and a Western Digital My Book Essential USB 3.0 3 TB hard drive: Good read/write with FreeBSD 9.0, and Linux on the System Rescue CD (http://sysresccd.org/). I can't access this hard drive from NetBSD either from USB 3.0 port or USB 2.0 port. I think FreeBSD 8.1 is in any case superseded by 8.2, hence no motivation to improve hardware support in 8.1.

I think you won't get much for 8.1 specifically, as 8.2 was the latest 8.x; that said you could try compiling it for your own purposes (if there is any support), or helping backport to 8-STABLE and go from there. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: USB 3.0 with FreeBSD 8.1
When I look, I see a file /dev/da0, but I can't do anything with it. I've tried mount's and newfs and Fdisk, nothing works. Yes, their is an entry in the /dev directory, but no it doesn't do me a lot of good. Now, I am willing to do USB 2.0 transfers. I'm willing to lose the 3.0 support. I got this drive so I could back my machine up, but so far it's doing a perfectly fine imitation of a boat anchor. If I have to, I'll put up 9.x on another machine and simply do the transfers across a TCP/IP wire. A little slower but a day or so isn't critical. Now my questions: a) Am I supposed to be able to get USB 2.0 support by simply using a conventional cable? Because so far I'm getting nothing. b) Does 9.0 have USB 3.0 support. The device I am trying to use is a WD My Essential Drive.
