I've once had troubles too with >mounting fat32 partitions since the slice-numbering often turns out to be >different from what you might expect. the partition i want to mount isn't listed in mount, but here's the output= =20 anyway: /dev/ad4s1a on / (ufs, local) /dev/ad4s1f on /tmp (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad4s1g on /usr (ufs, local, soft-updates) /dev/ad4s1e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) procfs on /proc (procfs, local) also, fdisk displays the slice i'm having trouble mounting as ad4s2, which i've also tried to mount, but I get an 'Invalid argument' error if I do so. [snip] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Couple of thoughts: 1. Why are you trying to mount ad*0*s5 rather than ad*4*s5 if the fat32 partition is on the same disk as FreeBSD? 2. Don't know exactly why, since the two should be equivalent, but once or twice I've had better luck with the mount_msdos formulation than mount -t msdos.
