When you plug in the drive, is it recognized by the OS? It should print 
some lines to the console and to /var/log/messages.

Also, some USB flash drives seem to be just quirky. I have something 
called Travelling Disk, and attempts to mount it can fail 10 times in a 
row and succeed 11th time (admittedly, this is with a year-old 
4.7-STABLE system). Go figure...

I guess it wolud be an invalid argument error then. I don't think that's
it. Try

# hd /dev/da0s1 | head

to see if you can read it at all.

My guess is that you have not formatted it first?
(newfs_msdos /dev/da0s1)

Apacer USB Flash drive

2003-12-23 Thread Olga Zenkova
Hi!

Can't mount Apacer USB Flash drive in FreeBSD 4.8. 
When I do: 

mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt

I get:

msdos: /dev/da0s1: Input/output error

Can I fix this bug somehow?

Thanks,
Olga
