USB Hard Drive Problems

[jhall at vandaliamo.net]

The actual enclosure is made by Western Digital.

If I run usbdevs I receive the following output.

addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel
addr 1: UHCI root hub, Intel
addr 1: EHCI root hub, Intel
 addr 2: External HDD, Western Digital

I'm guessing the device would be /dev/da0s1.

Thanks for your help.
