Background: The Olympus WS-310M digital voice recorder has a standard USB
interface and uses flash memory to store sound files. Unfortunately, this
device only records to WMA files. I was able to view the filesystem on my
MacMini without installing any software. I'm trying to mount it to my FreeBSD
system so that I can use ffmpeg to convert the WMA files to a more universally
readable format.
Problem: I am having trouble mounting this device in FreeBSD 6.2.
Here is the related dmesg output:
umass0: OLYMPUS CORPORATION DIGITAL VOICE RECORDER, rev 1.10/1.00, addr 3

Here is the output from 'fdisk /dev/da0':
******* Working on device /dev/da0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:

Media sector size is 2048

Information from DOS bootblock is:

The data for partition 3 is:

The data for partition 4 is:

Here is the output from 'ls /dev/da0*':
/dev/da0 /dev/da0s1
Here is the output of my various attempts at mounting this device as root:
attempt: mount -tmsdos -orw /dev/da0 /mnt/ws310
result: mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0: Invalid argument
attempt: mount -tmsdos -orw /dev/da0s1 /mnt/ws310
result: mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument
Attempts with '-oro' instead of '-orw' had similar results.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Andrew Gould
