The following messages display: ./: Can't set user=921/group=921 for . ./Reboot S1 - 01 [3FD6C4B2].mkv: Can't create 'Reboot S1 - 01 [3FD6C4B2].mkv' The last message (can't create) repeats for all files in the directory. Running 'ls -al /mnt/usb' yields: drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 32768 Dec 31 1979 . drwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 512 Nov 5 03:04 .. Where /mnt/usb was originally empty in the first place. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
