USB Thumb Drive

[Chris Brennan]

I have a need to use a thumb drive on my FBSD8.1/amd64 laptop and when I
plugged it in before leaving to make sure I could mount it, I discovered I
couldn't.

/var/log/messages produced this:

when I try to mount the device da0 I get

[root at BlackDragon [~]# kldload ntfs (just so I can read from the device and
copy what I wanted off it)
[root at BlackDragon [~]# mount -t ntfs /dev/da0 /mnt/thumb
mount_ntfs: /dev/da0: Invalid argument

did I miss something?
