Strange, but I can mount an ntfs filesystem (dual boot machine) but not the fat32 partition on a new freebsd 6.0 installation. The drive contains three paritions: /dev/ad0s1 -- 30GB NTFS (winxp) mounted on /winxp /dev/ad0s2 -- 30GB FAT32 (data to be accessed by both winxp and freebsd 6.0) mount point /data /dev/ad0s3 -- 30GB UFS (or whatever freebsd's file systems are) /ad0s3(blah,blah,blah) The results I get back from mount are: mothra# mount -t msdos /dev/ad0s2 /data mount_msdosfs: /dev/ad0s2: Invalid argument mothra# I don't get it. it's a fat32 partition (formatted using winxp -- default block size). Is there anything I'm missing here? It IS the second slice on the drive. Do I need to make the filesystem using FreeBSD? There must be some simple thing I'm not doing correctly, yes?
