Hello!
I have a server at home running FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE. Attached to the server are two Seagate External harddrives running on external power. One with 500GB capacity which I have had for a couple of years, and one with 2TB capacity which I have recently bought. Both of them are formatted with FAT32.
If I plug them in when the computer is running they both show up in /dev/msdosfs/ and I can mount using the following command.
The problem comes when I restart the computer and the disks are already plugged in. Then the small LED on the front of the HDDs will only light up briefly during boot and none of the drives will be available in /dev/msdosfs/.
The only solution that I have found is to either cycle the external power to the disks or unplug them and plug them right back into the computer. After this they will show up in /dev/msdosfs/ and can be mounted as normal.
I have tried shutting off the disks sleep mode but it didn't help.
Below are the log from dmesg when both disks are plugged into the computer during boot.
