    hi,

    i tried to mount a msdos filesystem (preformated) on a maxtor
    onetouch 200gb usb harddisk.

    but

      mount -r -t msdos /dev/da1s1 /mnt

    gives the following error:

    mountmsdosfs(): disk too big, sorry

    the disk is detected fine:

    umass0: Maxtor OneTouch, rev 2.00/2.00, addr 2
    umass0: Get Max Lun not supported (STALLED)
    da1 at umass-sim0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
    da1: <Maxtor OneTouch 0200> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-0 device
    da1: 650KB/s transfers
    da1: 194480MB (398295040 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 63408C)

    i am running

    FreeBSD aeolus.pinhead.lan.at 4.9-STABLE FreeBSD
    4.9-STABLE #2: Wed Oct 29 13:54:44 CET 2003

    fdisk -l:

    ******* Working on device /dev/da1 *******
    parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
    cylinders=24792 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

    Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
    parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
    cylinders=24792 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)

    Media sector size is 512
    Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
    Information from DOS bootblock is:
    The data for partition 1 is:
    sysid 12,(DOS or Windows 95 with 32 bit FAT, LBA)
        start 63, size 398267352 (194466 Meg), flag 0
            beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
            end: cyl 214/ head 254/ sector 63
    The data for partition 2 is:
    <UNUSED>
    The data for partition 3 is:
    <UNUSED>
    The data for partition 4 is:
    <UNUSED>

    is this a known problem? under linux mounting the fs works
    flawlessly. seems like this is a limitation of the freebsd msdosfs
    driver. is it possible to port the driver from linux?

    thanks for your time
    toni
