What's the problem? Just recompile your kernel and use your USB drive. It's possible to write to it. This warning just notifies you that it could be stability issues if there will be many files. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
How do I access external USB fat32 160 GB drive?
Hello When I try to mount the drive with mount_msdos it tells me the filsystem is to big. The drive consists av a single fat32 partition. Windows can access it so it must be possible in FreeBSD too. I read about recompiling the kernel with option MSDOSFS_LARGE. But that option seems to be gone i GENERIC now.

Hello When I try to mount the drive with mount_msdos it tells me the filsystem is to big. The drive consists av a single fat32 partition. Windows can access it so it must be possible in FreeBSD too. I read about recompiling the kernel with option MSDOSFS_LARGE. But that option seems to be gone i GENERIC now. Thanks you have to change the MSDOSFS to MSDOSFS_LARGE. i did it on one of my systems, and it works fine (however, ive heard hearsay that its not enabled by default due to stability issues when it has too may files in the filesystem). hth, jonathan ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
