SOLVED -- mount_msdosfs /dev/da0: : Invalid argument
I am running FreeBSD 7.2 with the stock kernel.
I am logged in as root (yeah, I know...) I plug a USB memory stick into a USB port and I type camcontrol devlist. The computer responds with: < USB Flash Memory 5.00 > at scbus 0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da0) Permissions for /mnt are 777. I go into /etc/fstab and add the following line: /dev/da0 /mnt msdosfs rw,noauto 0 0 I type mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0 /mnt And the computer responds mount_msdosfs /dev/da0: : Invalid argument ?!?!?!?! What am I doing wrong? Last edited by harold; 7th July 2009 at 12:47 AM. Reason: typos! Solved! |

Generally, fat32 partitions are located at /dev/da0s1.
Search and read some information on disks, slices and partitions - the handbook (www.freebsd.org/handbook) is a good place to start.

Changed it to mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt and she works!

One important notice! Check your system file on your USB stick. if it is formatted NTFS then mount -t msdosfs will not work and you should use instead
mount -t ntfs If NTFS driver is not installed you should first install it! Then every thing go right. |
