John, For giggles I downloaded the iso and installed FreeNAS 8.0 into a virtual machine, usbconfig is present:
%/usr/sbin/usbconfig -d ugen1.2 dump_device_desc ugen1.2: <RALLY2 OCZ Technology> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON bLength = 0x0012 bDescriptorType = 0x0001 bcdUSB = 0x0200 bDeviceClass = 0x0000 bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000 bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000 bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0040 idVendor = 0x0325 idProduct = 0xac02 bcdDevice = 0x1100 iManufacturer = 0x0001 <OCZ Technology> iProduct = 0x0002 <RALLY2> iSerialNumber = 0x0000 <no string> bNumConfigurations = 0x0001 % Note both Vendor and Product ID are reported. Not sure how "pwd" will show the user one is logged in as, "whoami" is in FreeNAS 8.0 and appears to behave in a similar fashion to other Unix/Linux type OSs: %whoami Root % I don't know my way around FreeNAS so can't help you with setting up a new thumb drive with version 8, I did notice that the "*.Full_Install.xv" files (http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8/) are compressed boot images that look like they ought to be able to be "dd"ed (or whatever the FreeNAS equivalent is) to a drive. Not sure an upgrade will help you much though, as Charles said: "Also, the USB support in FreeBSD prior to 8.0 is not very usable from the NUT perspective. No guarantees it will get better if you upgrade, but I had a lot of problems trying to get tripplite_usb to work under FreeBSD 6.x and 7.x."

I will not do that again. I ran "usbconfig" as root and it came back "usbconfig: command not found" I ran "pwd" and I am root, tried "lsusb" for giggles and it didn't work either. I thought about upgrading to Freenas 8.0 but I am used to the embedded version that I installed on a datastick...I didn't see a .img for 8.0 and was wondering how you installed it. Thanks again for your help. John _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
