Maybe it's block size (2048), maybe something else. The way FreeBSD works, one cannot read from raw media using any block size. You must use the actual block size on the media. With UDF and ISO9660, this is not a problem. This might fail for FAT32 on DVD media. If you find that the probe runs to completion, and still doesn't detect the correct file system, you can dig around in the libvolume_id code and try to fix this problem.
