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 0000> 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 ...
