Thanks all for the feedback, problem solved, details below. Bruce -> "/dev/ad0s1" did the trick ... I was in such a hurry, I forgot to actually look further, I was in a hurry and got impatient :P. "file -s /dev/DEVICE" is a nice little trick, gonna have to tuck this one away for another rainy day when I am stuck. The drive is ntfs, I formatted it that way (I lost nearly 8gb of the 32gb capasity because of fat32).
[..] [r...@blackdragon [~]# file -s /dev/da0s1 /dev/da0s1: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x52, OEM-ID "NTFS ", sectors/cluster 8, reserved sectors 0, Media descriptor 0xf8, heads 255, hidden sectors 2048, dos < 4.0 BootSector (0x0) [..] [r...@blackdragon [~]# mount | grep thumb /dev/da0s1 on /mnt/thumb (ntfs, local) [r...@blackdragon [~]# [..] Jerry -> I kinda like the idea of exFAT but I don't put much stock in it (yet). It is by far not a tried-and-true filesystem yet. And since M$ has there hands in it, I doubt we'll see legit F/OSS drivers for it anytime soon. Jerry McAllister -> your fstab entry is my next step, thanks for the reminder though :D Ryan -> As I was saying to Jerry, I don't think we'll see reliable exFAT drivers for the *nix world anytime soon :( It's sad really. M$ might actually get something right in exFAT and it becomes a viable, scalable alternative to NTFS. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
