I have a couple of USB devices that I mount as /dev/da0s1, which what I would expect. I've just got a memory stick that's showing as /dev/da0 & /dev/da0s4. and only /dev/da0 mounts. The output of fdisk is garbage, showing four unfeasibly large partitions with unknown sysid values. On the other hand it seems to work fine as da0. Is this normal, or should I repartition. If the latter is there anything particular I need to do to maintain Windows compatibility - I've a vague recollection that Windows leave a gap before the first partition, or something.
