The external USB harddisk I'm using works fine with ehci (VIA VT6202 USB 2.0 controller) on 6.2-PRERELEASE amd64: Controller /dev/usb4: addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x0000), VIA(0x0000), rev 1.00 port 1 powered port 2 addr 2: high speed, power 100 mA, config 1, Mass Storage Device(0x3507), Prolific Technology Inc.(0x067b), rev 1.00 > Filesystem is mounted via amd() and there via the'script' option in > amd() due to problems of the amd() mounting process recognizing UFS > filesystems.

The only problems I ever had wer with the firewire interface, not USB. But I don't use amd, and I'm using GEOM_ELI encyption. If amd doesn't work well with ufs, would using glabel be a workaround?
