[PC-BSD Testing] More on USB not working

[Jeff]

Ok thanks.

The card reader had an SD card plugged in that was formatted in my Canon camera and that was the only partition listed by FDISK:

<Sony Card R/W  -CF 2.11>          at scbus5 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass3)
<Sony Card R/W  -SM/xD 2.11>       at scbus5 target 0 lun 1 (da1,pass4)
<Sony Card R/W  -SD 2.11>          at scbus5 target 0 lun 2 (da2,pass5)
<Sony Card R/W  -MS 2.11>          at scbus5 target 0 lun 3 (da3,pass6)

The other devices listed are for different sized memory cards. da3 is for the MS slot (Micro Stick) which is quite strange since it's an SD card plugged into the SD slot.  Can't mount da2s1 - no such file or directory.


Some bug, but anyway, on that SD card that's the only partition.

      that you posted about, or are there additional devices for each
      partition on it (/dev/da3s1[a,b,c,d])?
