I want to copy files to it. I introduced the key and was recognized as da0.
I did ls dev/da0 ==> dev/da0

Thank you in advance for any help.
If it is a DOS-format device, you need to say
mount -t mdsos /dev/da0 /mnt
or maybe
mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt
In my /etc/sysctl.conf file I have the following:
-------------------
# user mounts devices
vfs.usermount=1
-------------------
In my /usr/local/etc/sudoers file I have the following:
-------------------
# Defaults specification
Defaults env_reset
Defaults timestamp_timeout=0
Defaults tty_tickets
Defaults requiretty
Defaults passwd_timeout=1
# User privilege specification
alex ALL=/sbin/umount,\
/sbin/mount_msdosfs
-------------------
I have added user alex to the wheel group
To mount the device as regular user (alex), I created a sub-directory in
my home directory.
In this example, my home directory is alex and the
sub-directory is mnt_drive
Execute the following to mount the drive...considering that /dev/da0 is
the drive to mount.
sudo mount_msdosfs /dev/da0 /usr/home/alex/mnt_drive
Execute the following to un-mount the drive
sudo umount /usr/home/alex/mnt_drive
Hope it helps...
Just a side note, as so many users do not realize this when doing
non-root mounts... the non-root user _must_ own the mountpoint. It
doesn't matter if you've "chmod 0777"ed it or not, if your user does not
own the mountpoint you will not be able to perform the user mount.
