Changing cards in a reader (new info)
Aloha I have some additional information regarding this problem. I was reading some of the man pages for the ump-teenth time and I thought I would try something with fdisk. I started with a 128MB card in the reader. hp# mount_msdosfs /dev/da2s1 /mnt/olympus/ hp# ls -l /mnt/olympus/ hp# ls -l /mnt/olympus/dcim/100olymp/ total 6752 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 680523 Jan 1 2000 p1010074.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 672166 Jun 5 07:19 p6050002.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 677171 Jun 5 07:19 p6050003.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 684658 Jun 5 07:23 p6050004.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 664210 Jun 5 07:23 p6050005.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 663849 Jun 5 07:24 p6050006.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 689533 Jun 5 07:37 p6050009.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 697084 Jun 5 07:37 p6050010.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 691391 Jun 5 07:59 p6050011.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 695390 Jun 5 07:59 p6050012.jpg hp# hp# umount /mnt/olympus/ Replace the 128MB with a 8MB hp# mount_msdosfs /dev/da2s1 /mnt/olympus/ mount_msdosfs: /dev/da2s1: Invalid argument Fails to mount hp# fdisk -i da2 *** Working on device /dev/da2 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=7 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=7 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl) Do you want to change our idea of what BIOS thinks ?

Changing cards in a reader (next step??)
Aloha I need to know where to go next. I have originated two previous threads regarding this problem. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-June/050819.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-July/053047.html I have followed all suggestions and responded with the output of my attemps. The problem remains unresolved. I have also requested that if anyone has this working *properly* to respond but no one did. Can I *assume* that this is a bug? Is the next step filing a bug report? Being a newbie, can someone steer me in the right direction to file a bug report. Is there something else I should do? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Then one does not have to be root to insert or remove the card. Just access the card with mdir, mcopy, mdel, mcd, etc ... Yank the card out any time you are not using it and insert another just as one does with tar and tapes. I'm thinking your issue is probably within mount_msdos. Mtools implement the DOS filesystem internally. Each M-command issued starts at the start of media, finds the directory and volume data, then goes to the appropriate file(s), completely from scratch each time. So there is no mount. It does tend to remember current directory. -- David Kelly N4HHE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I haven't actually used my card reader on 5 yet, so I could be missing something obvious here...

Do you get anything in /var/log/messages when you insert the new card? It might be worth doing a 'camcontrol start' after the rescan, just in case, but I don't really think that will make any difference. Since you're running FreeBSD 5, it might be worth re-porting your question to the freebsd-current mailing list, to see if anyone there can shed some light on this. Sorry I can't be more help, Scott Aloha and mahalo Scott I had tried the camcontrol start before but I tried again without any good stuff. Fdisk seems to show the correct readings but I could use some help interpreting the output of /var/log/messages. I am traveling now so I am using my laptop which is running current.

changing cards in a reader
Aloha Hopefully this is a simple question. FreeBSD does not support my Olympus C-3000 Zoom camera so I bought a card reader (usb). It has 4 slots and when I boot or just plug it in I get 4 drives (da0, da1, da2, da3). If I have a SmartMedia card installed I also see da2s1. da2s1 mounts fine and I am able to see and use all of the photo files. I have additional SM cards and would like to change the installed card at will. If I do a umount and replace the card and try to mount again I get an error mount_msdosfs: /dev/da2s1: Invalid argument. I should say that the cards are different sizes. In order to mount another card I have to unplug the usb cable and re-plug it in with the new card in the slot. I have read man camcontrol and do not see an option I can use. Is there a way to do this without unplugging and re-plugging the cable? hp# uname -a FreeBSD hp.hawaii.rr.com 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #0: Thu Jun 10 12:39:40 HST 2004 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Thank You Robert ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
