Hello
I'm using FreeBSD PPC 8.2 on a Mac mini and everything's working fine except one thing:
Whichever external harddisk I connect through USB I always get some kind of errors during the "mount" phase. Here are 2 examples from tens of error messages I got so far:
If I try to connect an ntfs formatted 8GB Compact Flash Card
If I try to connect my 250GB Seagate harddisk
The first error message is really surprising because it occurs on a totally formatted Compact Flash card, i.e. there's no way for it to have any BAD MFT RECORD.
I think I should get some advice about which partition table and filesystem to use on external compact flash cards and harddisks.
Thank you.
