I did also try 10.0-RELEASE (LiveCD) and also again got a bunch of errors and the system refused to see the drive.... again. I tried that (10.0-RELEASE) with multiple different motherboard and multiple different USB 3.0 add-in PCIe controller cards. All tests failed, all of the time, with both systems. >Yes, USB 3.0 _works_ with FreeBSD. Please can you be more specific? What host controller chipsets are supported, exactly? Please post the list. And specifically, is the VIA VL800 chipset supported? What controllers and what external USB 3.0 devices have you yourself actually _successfully_ tested, and which version of FreeBSD exactly did you use for those tests? I'm sorry if I seem to be aseking too many detailed questions about this, but I've previously also tried using external USB 3.0 hard drives attached to a totally different system, also running FreeBSD, with a different motherboard *and* a totally different USB 3.0 card in it and that experiment also ended in tears and utter failure. I really would like to know what specific USB 3.0 hardware was properly tested and qualified as working and fully supported *before* 10.0-RELEASE went out the door. Was there any? Or did USB 3.0 support only begin working properly post 10.0-RELEASE? P.S. To be clear, I am interested in finding out if FreeBSD actually has any support for any kind of *rotating* USB 3.0-attached external storage. Right at the moment, I don't really care if USB 3.0 flash sticks work. (Those are quite obviously going to be easier to make work.) P.P.S. Not all of use have the luxury of being able to run -STABLE. _______________________________________________ freebsd-usb@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-usb To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-usb-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
