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...
That doesn't sound normal. I only had similar problems with
Klingston DataTraveler flash (it had some crap firmware)
I've seen that on almost every USB MP3 player, Android mobile phones
and on other USB devices that export an internal memory card.
Much shorter than dd ... is this:
: > /dev/da0
But it would be really really really great if someone(TM) would fix it,
so the workaround is no longer needed...
