I started looking at amd and it is just what I need but it doesn't appear to be available? From what I have read it should be part of FreeBSD? I see that I can download a tar from www.am-utils.org should I do that or is there a "Package" available for it? Is there something similar to "YUM" for FreeBSD?
You are correct that I was not dismounting then removing the drive. So that makes sense. Next question is how/can I free them up? Tried "umount /dev/da0s1" but it fails with "Device not configured" Thanks for the response. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Moran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 18, 2008 12:27 PM To: Brian Miller Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Auto Mount USB In response to "Brian Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I can mount the drive just fine with the mount command.

Also, section 27.3.5 of the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nfs.ht ml If you get stuck on specifics, ask here. > Also I noticed while playing with it that the device assignment keeps > changing each time it is plugged back into the system.

Are you umounting it before you remove the drive? If not, then the drive is still mounted from a previous connection (even though it can't be accessed) so the system has to grab the next available device. This will go away once you have amd running. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
