On 7.0 release of FBSD trying to mount a usb flash memory stick. The stick has a msdos file system on it and has been loaded with files using windows xp. When I plug the stick into my FBSD 7.0 box I get Geom console msg 'GEOM_LABEL:Label for provider Da0s1 is msdosfs_flashdrive'. Does this mean the flash stick is mounted and the mount point is msdosfs_flashdrive'? When is issue this command, mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt I get this console msg ' GEOM get label removed'. Using the /mnt mount point every thing works fine. What is GEOM doing form me in 7.0?
