Hey all,
The FAQ for FreeBSD needs a significant amount of updating and
changing. The first step in that process is to figure out what needs
to be changed.
If you can a take a moment and thoroughly review just one
question and add your comments and concerns it
would be immensely helpful.

Under: removable-drives
Would it be worth mentioning no /dev/xxxs1 is created when the device is
plugged in after boot?
E.G. 1:
I have a Zip Drive which is /dev/da1.
Everything is fine if a disk is in when I boot, but if I insert the
media after boot, /dev/da1s1 is not there.
I need to "mount /dev/da1 /mnt": this also fails, but now I have
/dev/da1s1 and can mount it.
E.G. 2:
I connect my Android phone with an USB cable: it will be /dev/da7.
Again I have no /dev/da7s1 until I "dd count=0 if=/dev/random of=/dev/da7".
Same happens with CompactFlash, MMC, SD, etc...
bye
av.
