Default Why does FreeBSD not know my USB disk?
After plugged, the USB disk cannot be recognized by FreeBSD as there is no "/dev/da*".
Code:
>ls /dev/ 
 acd0 ad4s5 console kbd0@ msdosfs/ stdin@ ttyv8 ugen1.1@ 
 acpi ad4s6 consolectl kbd1@ null stdout@ ttyv9 ugen1.2@ 
 ad4 ad4s7 ctty kbdmux0 nvidia0 sysmouse ttyva urandom@ 
 ad4s1 ad4s8 devctl klog nvidiactl ttyv0 ttyvb usb/

A recent post had the disk "solved" by having its own power supply rather than power from the usb ports. May that be the case? Otherwise, post more information?

Make sure umass(4) is loaded before plugging the stick in.

Do a $ tail -f /var/log/messages and stick it in. Watch the messages. If it's not recognized post those messages here.

Try this:
# usbconfig list

That might give you a clue what's going on.

It seems my freebsd cannot know my USB device which is a 2GB disk.

Today i tried the same USB disk on linux.

Code:
%uname -a
Linux myarch 3.0-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Aug 6 16:49:00 CEST 2011 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

%sudo mount /dev/sdf /media/usbdisk                     
%mount
...
/dev/sdf on /media/usbdisk type vfat (rw)
...
Then i can use it normally !
