Oh, okay - so this is presumably a filesystem on a Flash card then?

If it is Flash, the above says it's (about) a 4GB (3905MB) filesystem.
Do you really have a 4GB Flash card?  If not, maybe that's
why it complains, because of inconsistencies with other values?
Can you possibly format it via FreeBSD, then maybe everyone
(OSes) will be happy?   Sorry, can't help you beyond this...
