Geom tasting exfat slices

[Kevin Oberman]

I have a slice that is formatted (by Windows) as exfat. I can mount it with
the mount.exfat-fuse command and ti seems to work fine using FUSE and
fusefs-exfat. But geom does not see it. There is no /dev/geom directory
created and "gpart show" returns:
# gpart show ada0
=>        63  1465149105  ada0  MBR  (699G)
          63        1985        - free -  (993K)
        2048     2457600     1  ntfs  (1.2G)
     2459648   958765056     2  ntfs  (457G)
   961224704   471040000     3  ebr  (225G)
  1432264704    32878592     4  ntfs  (16G)
  1465143296        5872        - free -  (2.9M)
The exfat slice is "961224704   471040000     3  ebr  (225G)"
In more detail, I get:
3. Name: ada0s3
   Mediasize: 241172480000 (225G)
   Sectorsize: 512
   Stripesize: 4096
   Stripeoffset: 0
   Mode: r0w0e0
   rawtype: 15
   length: 241172480000
   offset: 492147048448
   type: ebr
   index: 3
   end: 1432264703
   start: 961224704
More oddly, when I mount the FS, I need to mount ada0s5???

Any idea what the heck is going on? I'd really like to get it to automount
with gnome-mount, but hald does not even seem to see it at all. I may need
to format it differently. It shows up on Windows as a "Logical" partition,
not "Primary". I don't understand this.

Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Thanks,
