Hey, I wonder if this is the same mp3player as the Acer multi-function
player I bought recently when in Taipei.

Because that's certainly the same error.

There's some excessively strong sanity checking in the msdosfs code in
FreeBSD, which is commented out in Apple's version that they grabbed from
us. I commented part of it out in -CURRENT to get my player working,
although not yet all of it. You probably want
src/sys/fs/msdosfs/msdosfs_vfsops.c:1.119. I've attached a copy of the
patch. I have plans to merge this to -STABLE for 4.10, but haven't had a
chance to test it on a -STABLE box. I don't anticipate any complications.
