Hello,

I have a problem with an external usb harddisk in FreeBSD 5.4.
It seems to be recognize but when I try to fdisk it, I have the following
message : fdisk: can't open device /dev/da0
fdisk: cannot open disk /dev/da0: Input/output error

The kernel dmesg is :

Is there a solution?

You could try if it works with 6.2. Release 5.4 is old and no longer supported.
Some USB mass storage devices have quirks. If they are known, the driver
handles them specially.
