MP3 player automount

[Insane654]

Hi,

I have an old Sony mp3 player that used to automount without problems before in GhostBSD but doesn't anymore. Other USB devices mount without problems. Manually mounting fails, because it appears to have no mountable 'slices' on it. And it's not empty, still some files on it I can listen to.

Code: Select all

christoph@christoph-ghostbsd-pc ~> gpart show da1
=>    63  899009  da1  MBR  (1.7G)
      63  899009       - free -  (1.7G)

Code: Select all

christoph@christoph-ghostbsd-pc ~> sudo mount -t msdosfs /dev/da1 /media/player/
Password:
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da1: Invalid argument
christoph@christoph-ghostbsd-pc ~ [1]>

Any suggestions?

Are you sure that the "-t msdosfs" is correct?

web search <https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/freebsd-a ... mand-line/> shows using the "mount -t cd9660 " command

cd9660 gives the same 'invalid argument'

Code: Select all

sudo mount -t cd9660 /dev/da1 /media/player/
Password:
mount_cd9660: /dev/da1: Invalid argument

Try an use VLC and use the "CTRL-D command to try and point to the disc

It isn't mounted so it doesn't show up.

Makes you wonder how GhostBSD did it before, trial and error every possible file system when an ignoramus inserts an USB device?

Might this topic https://forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=2333

be a second case of not correctly mounting devices?

After todays update, my player automounts again
