I have a Lexar 64GB USB 2.0 JumpDrive which worked in its "pristine" or "virgine" state very well. I used it yesterday, brand new, to fill it up with data. Some 30GB data got stored, I shut down the system (FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT/amd64) and this morning, I put the USB drive out of the USB port (computer off) and took it to the office.
At the office, neither a FreeBSD10.0-CURRENT box nor a FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE box (both moth recent buildworld) where able to recognize the drive! While the USB drive was recognized as /dev/da1s1 before, this time I see in the console something like this: ugen7.6: <Lexar> at usbus7 umass1: <Lexar USB Flash Drive, class 0/0, rev 2.00/11.00, addr 6> on usbus7 And nothing further anymore. On a Linux box (Suse) the USB drive can be read as well as on a Windows 7 box (I only read the content, I didn't write onto the USB drive on both systems). What is up? Since Windows and Linux can read/recognize the drive and FreeBSD not, I guess FreeBSD does have a problem with that kind of 64GB drive. I do not care of the data on the USB drive, so I'd like to GPART it. But without having a device node created, this is very unlikely to achieve. Any suggestions?
