This works, but I do not recognize the device name in the dmesg output. Also, dmesg reports that it cannout mount the device because ufs is compiled read-only, not read-write. > What filesystem does your BSD system use on that drive?

Actually, I found nothing at all useful regarding mounting usb devices. Also, I found nothing at all useful using either man or apropos on fedora. I found no useful info in the fedora f9 bible on mounting usb or what usb device names look like. In this regard, OpenBSD has much better documentation on USB. Maybe there is a hook for usb in fedora I just don't know about yet. I also tried a google search for usb info on the fedora site. I'm just having no luck with this today. > > > > -- > Frustra laborant quotquot se calculationibus fatigant pro inventione > quadraturae circuli > > Mark Haney > Sr. Systems Administrator > ERC Broadband > (828) 350-2415 > > Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
