The USB stick in question was stuck into the back of a redhat linux box. Okay, I did actually try also mounting it with: mount -t ext2fs /dev/da2s1 /usb2 just to see what would happen. After trying it a couple more times I see that was what was adding the that warning to dmesg. So that's explained, but I still don't understand why I can't mount it with mount_msdosfs -----Original Message----- From: Tijl Coosemans Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2013 1:36 PM To: Joseph Mays Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: USB can't mount msdosfs drive
