In the /var/log/messages the following message appears:

The drive is OK and works fine with Windows. Also, USB flash thumb
drives work fine, when used in the same manner with my FreeBSD.
System version is 8.0-STABLE, but this is probably irrelevant here.


The fact that the drive is working on Windows does not mean it's FAT32 formatted. It may as well be NTFS formatted ("man mount_ntfs").

Doublecheck you're running a FAT32 system: FreeBSD is saying you're not.

Cheers,
Antonio
