I thought for Windows XP most USB storage devices don't need additional software to work. My digital camera for example (a nifty Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F77A), you can connect and disconnect and they get mounted/dismounted automatically as an external drive. Tried to do the same in FreeBSD via devd, in /etc/dev.conf:- attach 0 { device-name "umass[0-9]+"; action "(sleep 2; mount /mnt/digicam)&"; }; detach 0 { device-name "umass[0-9]+"; action "(sleep 2; umount -f /mnt/digicam)&"; }; with the line in /etc/fstab:- /dev/da0s1 /mnt/digicam msdosfs rw,noauto 0 0 Attaching my usb digicam (mine is a nifty Sony Cyber-shot DSC-F77A) works great, but detaching it has random effects (ranging from works with system intact to instant kernel panic). Resorted to unmount first before detaching (when I remember to do so ;-) ). Any similar experience, and should I send-pr? Thanks. --mendonan "Yang mimpikan secangkir kopi panas dengan selimut.."
