Hello,

Let's try mounting things manually for now. When you insert the device,
if you can "safely remove it" then do so, if not, open the terminal.
Once you are at the terminal (vfs.usermount=1 is generally set in all
PC-BSDs), type umount -f /media/da0s1 (we're being forceful because it
doesn't "really" matter right now.

let's make a directory on your desktop for you to sift through
easily...: mkdir ~/Desktop/Xpod

let's mount the device to your nice new directory....: mount -t msdosfs
/dev/da0s1 ~/Desktop/Xpod

ENJOY!!!

Rather, test and let us know!

Rgds,
Brodey

Umm, thanks, I'm gonna check that this evening.
But still, is that the way to avoid screwing-up of filesystem on my removable media?

I forget which sizes are affected, but it is important to mount that mount_msdosfs must have the "-o large" switch enabled. Most automounters will disregard a device plugged in that is too large, but this may be an issue with the Kauto mount. Try -o large if mount -t... returns nothing.

Kris, I've been sort of loosely watching this thread. Is there any easy test this to see if this is isolated perhaps to certain chipsets on certain mothers boards (AMD chipset v. Intel v. NForce v. VIA, etc.) that the rest of us can test and confirm? Typically, USB flash drives UNDER 2GB will come out of the factory formatted to 2GB. Anything OVER 2GB has ot be FAT32 or some other size due to FATs 2GB ceiling. I've tried my 4GB and 8GB Sandisk drives with no loss or data error but they are formatted FAT32. I have plenty of time to run some tests with USB drivers ranging from 128 FAT or FAT32 to 8GB FAT32 to play with.

Installed fine but gave numerous errors about additional addons that I had never installed. All were language packs. Also, immediately after the update my shortcut to the Favorite would not start FF but had to deg into the menu to bring it up under Multimedia.

Hey there. Not using PBI's of firefox anymore - it's better to install from port personally for me. In that case I understand better where what lays and easily to find out how to fix issues with google.
So, firefox. http://www.freshports.org/www/firefox3/. There's in the top comment u can find the paths to plugins:
~/.mozilla/plugins or /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins

For me worked only the second one, I've installed swfdec with path /usr/local/lib/firefox3/plugins and it finally worked for me.
If you're having some language addons then that isn't a trouble since u can leave only english and e.g. your country language for
browsing websites. It's in the Tools -> Addons -> Extensions menu.

Good luck!
