mount(2) says it should fail with EINVAL if the magic block is wrong: [EINVAL] The super block for the file system had a bad magic number or an out of range block size.
This doesn't appear to be the case with a nmount layer though :/. I didn't find anything conclusive that noted where the issue was occurring, but I was wondering if anyone knew where it might be happening? $ sudo mount_msdosfs /dev/ada0s1b /mnt/ # ... madvise(0x800c09000,0x1000,0x5,0x8,0x3008,0x5039d0) = 0 (0x0) nmount(0x800c0d100,0x10,0x0,0x4,0xf0,0x5039d0) ERR#1 'Operation not permitted' write(2,"mount_msdosfs: ",15) ERR#9 'Bad file descriptor' write(2,": ",2) ERR#9 'Bad file descriptor' # ... mount_msdosfs: /dev/ada0s1b: Operation not permitted $ sudo mount /dev/ada0s1b /mnt/ # ... madvise(0x800c0b000,0x1000,0x5,0xa,0x2008,0x505dd8) = 0 (0x0) nmount(0x800c0d080,0x8,0x0,0x7fffffffdff0,0x70,0x505dd8) ERR#1 'Operation not permitted' write(2,"mount: ",7) ERR#9 'Bad file descriptor' write(2,": ",2) ERR#9 'Bad file descriptor' # ... mount: /dev/ada0s1b : Operation not permitted This is something small that I've noticed for a while now that doesn't make sense from a requirements perspective with the manpage.
