<br>With my Olympus s-800 connected to the computer with a USB cable, I checked dmesg to see if it was recognized. It was because at the very end of dmesg I found this:<br><br>%dmesg<br><snip><br>da2 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 <----- camera is recognized as da2 (because there are 2 scsi hard disks)<br>
da2: <OLYMPUS uD800,S800 1.00> Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device<br>da2: 1.000MB/s transfers<br>da2: 499MB (1023120 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 499C)<br>GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider da2s1 is msdosfs/NO NAME.<br>
%<br>------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>% su<br>Password: xxxxxxxxxx<br>root@rtbank#<br>root@rtbank# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da2s1a /media<br>
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da2s1a: : No such file or directory <---- does not accept the "a" suffix in /da2s1a<br>root@rtbank# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da2s1 /media<br>root@rtbank# <---- accepts and mounts the /da2s1 without the "a" suffix<br>
<br><end dmesg><br>Note: Those are my comments following the "<------" pointers<br><br><br>Conclusion:<br><br>After using dmesg to discover what drive number has been assigned, you use that information to construct the correct mount command.<br>
The dmesg reports the scsi drive number assigned but does not report any "slice" information. The slice is most likely slice 1 (s1).<br>Ordinarily slices are subdivided into partitions a, b, etc. In the case of my Olympus S-800, it would not mount with a slice suffix.<br>
<br>Final command: (Mounting as root)<br><br>#mount -t msdosfs /dev/da2s1 /media<br><br>Ian Robinson<br>Salem, Ohio<br><br>
