Re: USB can't mount msdosfs drive
did you already try to access da2 instead of da2s1? Yeah, tried that early on, got the same result. root@warehouse:/backups/postgres-02/info # mount_msdosfs /dev/da2 /usb2 mount_msdosfs: /dev/da2: Invalid argument But just to be fully sure: This is a USB stick / thumb drive, right? Yes. It's one of several thumb drives that were mounted in the back of some linux machines at remote sites we help a customer with. The client is unsure what was on them, but needs to know. We asked them to gather them up and stick them into usb ports on a freebsd machine we have access to and manage at their location (in another state). Most of them I got mounted as either msdosfs, or ufs, or ntfs, or extfs2, and was able to get the data off them.
