I was beginning to wonder if this was only my problem. I still have an anomaly even with this procedure. Are you running this as root? Here is what I found. I have a 32MB card in the reader. I start a terminal as a normal user and verify permissions on the device. da2 and da2s1 are set perm in /etc/devfs.conf %pwd /usr/home/robert %ls -l /dev/da* crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 30 Aug 23 16:50 /dev/da0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 31 Aug 23 16:50 /dev/da1 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 4, 32 Aug 23 16:50 /dev/da2 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 4, 34 Aug 23 16:50 /dev/da2s1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 33 Aug 23 16:50 /dev/da3 % %mount_msdosfs /dev/da2s1 ~/camera %ls -l camera/dcim/100olymp/ total 6752 -r-xr-xr-x 1 robert robert 680523 Jan 1 2000 p1010074.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 robert robert 672166 Jun 5 07:19 p6050002.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 robert robert 677171 Jun 5 07:19 p6050003.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 robert robert 684658 Jun 5 07:23 p6050004.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 robert robert 664210 Jun 5 07:23 p6050005.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 robert robert 663849 Jun 5 07:24 p6050006.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 robert robert 689533 Jun 5 07:37 p6050009.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 robert robert 697084 Jun 5 07:37 p6050010.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 robert robert 691391 Jun 5 07:59 p6050011.jpg -r-xr-xr-x 1 robert robert 695390 Jun 5 07:59 p6050012.jpg % %umount camera I can mount and display the photos so then I umount and change to a 128MB card. After doing the folowing command as suggested, the permissions on da2s1 have changed. %cat /dev/null > /dev/da2 %mount_msdosfs /dev/da2s1 ~/camera mount_msdosfs: /dev/da2s1: Permission denied %ls -l /dev/da* crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 30 Aug 23 16:50 /dev/da0 crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 31 Aug 23 16:50 /dev/da1 crw-rw---- 1 root operator 4, 32 Aug 23 16:50 /dev/da2 crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 35 Aug 23 16:50 /dev/da2s1 crw-r----- 1 root operator 4, 33 Aug 23 16:50 /dev/da3 I have to then su to root and change the permissions back to 660. It then mounts fine. %su Password: frankie# chmod 660 /dev/da2s1 frankie# exit exit %mount_msdosfs /dev/da2s1 ~/camera %ls -l camera/dcim/100olymp/ total 2048 -rwxr-xr-x 1 robert robert 684889 Jan 1 2000 p1010001.jpg -rwxr-xr-x 1 robert robert 687084 Jan 1 2000 p1010002.jpg -rwxr-xr-x 1 robert robert 712401 Jan 1 2000 p1010003.jpg % Is there something that I am missing? Why am I losing the w for group operator? Either way, this is better than unplugging the USB cable or running fdisk -i on the slice.
