Hopefully this is a simple question. FreeBSD does not support my
Olympus C-3000 Zoom camera so I bought a card reader (usb). It has
4 slots and when I boot or just plug it in I get 4 drives
(da0, da1, da2, & da3). If I have a SmartMedia card installed I
also see da2s1.
da2s1 mounts fine and I am able to see and use all of the photo files.
I have additional SM cards and would like to change the installed card at
will. If I do a umount and replace the card and try to mount again I
get an error "mount_msdosfs: /dev/da2s1: Invalid argument". I should
say that the cards are different sizes. In order to mount another card
I have to unplug the usb cable and re-plug it in with the new card in
the slot.
I have read man camcontrol and do not see an option I can use.
Is there a way to do this without unplugging and re-plugging the cable?
