USB drives still don't work correctly

I have tried periodically to use FreeBSD -- a couple of the 7.x releases, 8.0 and now 8.1. I do my backups on Seagate SATA drives in USB shoeboxes with ext2 filesystems. These drives work fine with Linux (Slackware) and OpenBSD. But with FreeBSD, absolutely no luck. The 7.x releases would freeze or

Re: USB drives still don't work correctly

A few more things on this issue: 1. I installed FreeBSD on another system, just on the off-chance that my problem might be caused by testing with an old machine (c. 2005). This machine is a relatively new HP desktop and it exhibits exactly the same symptoms w.r.t. the USB drives as I described ear

usb mouse issue

I am running 8.1 RELEASE on a Thinkpad X61. I have a wired Microsoft usb mouse plugged into it. I have hal and dbus running, and when I start X, everything is fine. However, if I shut down the X server and restart it (via startx), the mouse no longer works, but the laptop's trackpoint device does w

Re: USB drives still don't work correctly

ven that the drives work with other systems, if I'm going to use FreeBSD, I'd like to see this problem either explained or fixed. /Don On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 11:35 AM, Bernd Walter wrote: > On Fri, Sep 24, 2010 at 11:16:14AM -0400, Donald Allen wrote: > > A few more things on this i

Intermittent pauses copying from one usb drive to another

I've discussed problems with FreeBSD and usb sata drives on this list in the past (as recently as last September), and have given up on FreeBSD as a result of the usb disk problems (I do my backups with usb drives) and other usb-related issues. But I've now replaced the usb enclosures I was using a
