PSP on FreeBSD

[imp]

I'm having trouble mounting my psp.

da0: <Sony PSP 1.00> Removable Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 40.000MB/s transfers
da0:1951MB (3995648 512 byte sectors: 255G 63S/T 248C)

I don't know what type of fs i should mount it as because all that i tried, did not work.

I think that psp is ntfs filesystem. Try with

mount_msdosfs

command.
If this command not found then you should install ntfsprogs from ports.

cd /usr/ports/sysutils/ntfsprogs && make install clean

and then

mount_msdosfs /dev/[B]device[/B] /mnt/[B]your dir[/B]

 

[imp]

Doesn't work. I tried that already.

mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0: Invalid argument

 

[sk8harddiefast]

post ls -al /dev/da0*
You should have da0s1 or something like that.

 

[imp]

Is there anyway to discover what fs is on there?

 

[imp]

ls -al /dev/da0*
crw-r----- 1 root operator   0, 124 Jul 15 06:42 /dev/da0
crw-r----- 1 root operarot   0, 125 Jul 15 06:42 /dev/da0s1

I don't know but i search on google and i saw that linux people mount it as vfat.

 

[imp]

yeah i tried that too.
mount -t vfat /dev/da0 /mnt/usb
didn't work either or is there something i need to install to get that to work?

Create a folder named psp on /mnt and

mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/psp

 

[imp]

Thank you greatly. That did it. I was missing the s1 part that made it fail.

I find that sysutils/disktype works great when I need to figure out more about a device, or file.

You might also try

fdisk da0s1
