USB External Drive

[Richard Beyer]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a USB external drive working on FreeBSD-4.8

Plugging it in gives all the expected kernel messages.

> camcontrol devlist
gives:
<USB 2.0 Storage Device 0100>      at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass0)

fdisk -I /dev/da0
gives:
fdisk: can't open device /dev/da0
fdisk: cannot open disk /dev/da0: Input/output error

with /var/log/messages showing:

Jul 10 16:19:34 enterprise /kernel: da0: reading primary partition table:
error reading fsbn 0
Jul 10 16:19:34 enterprise /kernel: da0: reading primary partition table:
error reading fsbn 0


Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Richard
