Hi, I'm trying to mount a 160 GB Western Digital USB 2.0 drive on a
FreeBSD 6.2 system. This seemed like it should be relatively simple,
but:
webmail# mount /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usbdrive
mount: /dev/da0s1 on /mnt/usbdrive: incorrect super block
It's probably formatted msdosfs. Have you tried:
webmail# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usbdrive
No, I hadn't, but that doesn't seem to work either:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usbdrive
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument
webmail# dmesg

Just a guess here but it's likely the drive was formatted as NTFS
instead of FAT-32 if it's a recent drive. Try mount_ntfs.
HTH,
Tried that, got:
webmail# mount_ntfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usbdrive
mount_ntfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument
Which doesn't make any sense to me, as it seems to
be telling me the /dev/da0s1 is an invalid argument.
Just for the hell of it, I tried:
webmail# mount_ntfs /dev/da0 /mnt/usbdrive
mount_ntfs: /dev/da0: Invalid argument
Argh. Hate it when what I expected to be a simple task
eats this much time.
Another guess. I wonder if you have to spell out the full slice such as
/dev/da0s1<whatever>. I know slice "c" is used to represent the entire
drive but there's something special about it. Thus verify that mounding
/dev/da0/s1c will not destroy data before mounting. Maybe bsdlabel
would be of help here? It should show you the slices on the drive and
then you can try mounting.
Good luck,
Drew
