I've tried something similar and I'm having good success. I should be able accomplish what I need with this approach.
One question: Is there a way to check the label of a device before mounting it? I assume so, since when I insert a FAT32 formatted USB stick I see the messages:
Mar 12 10:29:05 r02s17 kernel: GEOM_LABEL: Label for provider da0s1 is msdosfs/MAXIFS.
Mar 12 10:29:06 r02s17 kernel: GEOM_LABEL: Label msdosfs/MAXIFS removed.
Can I easily get this same information?
