Cant mount USB phones?
Im having a problem mounting the micro-usb cards inside of 2 phones from the phones.
If I remove the card from the phone and insert it into a usb card reader it mounts perfectly, however when I plug in the phone i get for example da0: <RIM Blackberry SD 003> Removable Direct Access SCSI-4 device da0: 40.000/MB/s transfers da0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not resent This "NOT READY" is because when you plug in the phone, you have to manually tell the phone that you want it to function as a usb mass disk. so the /dev/da0 is created and not the /dev/da0s1 so once you tell it that you want it to function as a disk, how do you create the /dev/da0s1? I have tried sudo /etc/rc.d/devfs restart ---> nothing sudo camcontrol rescan all --> nothing I almost seem to remember doing this before, in fact i know i did it before on my driod phone, i have the roms to proove it However, im now having this problem with the driod as well (different phone different microsd card) FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE |

true > /dev/da0 and after that: mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0 /mnt or something like this... |

And what point would there be in doing that, exactly?
Seems to me that the device is quirky and FreeBSD isn't having a lot of luck with it, any changes in that area of the tree? try a later version. |

My phone is /dev/da4s1 and if I don't do true > /dev/da4s1 before mount, mount doesn't work.

That is very odd, wouldn't it be better to report the problem so it can be fixed properly?

That probably has to with "devfs magic", and the device partitions not being probed correctly until the device is accessed.
But yeah, it's a bug.

May or may not be fixed in the new usb(3.0) stack in v9 (Current).

Thanks all for the reply, ill try using true.
Yea, it acts like a card reader with no disk inserted, however, on both phones you cant tell the phone before hand that you want the memory card to act as a "USB disk", only after inserting the USB cable. |
