"start" tells the drive to spin up, so if it's already running you
don't need it.  "load" is more for things like tape drives or CD-ROMs
where you have a magazine or tray that can be loaded/ejected.

camcontrol start vs load

[Tadimeti Keshav]

HI, 
Is the following sequence to mount a firewire Hard
disk correct?
a. camcontrol devlist -v
b. camcontrol start da0 (provided it is recognized)
c. mount_msdosfs /dev/da0 /

Is this all needed to mount this HDD?

secondly, should I use camcontrol start or camcontrol
load?
Thx for any help
