mounting an external Hard Drive

[cadu aranha]

Hello people,
i have a USB external HD with FAT32 fs.
Today i connected it to my FBSD and
got the following mesg entry:

da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: SAMSUNG SP2514N  Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
da0: 1.000MB/s transfers
da0: 238475MB (488397168 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 30401C)

# ls /dev/da0*
/dev/da0/dev/da0s1  /dev/da0s2  /dev/da0s5

mount_ntfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt
#% ok, it worked. Now
# mount_ntfs /dev/da0s2 /mnt2
mount_ntfs: /dev/da0s2: Invalid argument

#%of course, it is a FAT32 filesystem. Then ...
# mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s2 /mnt2
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s2: Invalid argument
# mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s5 /mnt2
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s5: Invalid argument
# dmesg
mountmsdosfs(): disk too big, sorry

# fsck_msdosfs /dev/da0s2
** /dev/da0s2
Invalid signature in fsinfo blockfix? [yn] y
Floating exception (core dumped)

I do not know what else could i do.
It was a 250G HG with NTFS. The whole could be mounted
by mount_ntfs. Then i split it in one NTFS and one FAT32
using Partition magic. Now i can mount the former and the
latter not. On windows there is no problem in mounting.

Any tip?
Thanks in advance ...

You didn't say how large your fat 32 filesystem ended up, but if it's
larger than a certain size (128 gigs I think?) you need to recompile your 
kernel with:

options MSDOSFS_LARGE


Yes, it is larger than 128G. I'll do that. Thank you ...
