Hi, I'm trying to mount a 160 GB Western Digital USB 2.0 drive on a
FreeBSD 6.2 system. This seemed like it should be relatively simple,

mount: /dev/da0s1 on /mnt/usbdrive: incorrect super block
It's probably formatted msdosfs. Have you tried:
webmail# mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usbdrive
No, I hadn't, but that doesn't seem to work either:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usbdrive
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument
webmail# dmesg

mountmsdosfs(): disk too big, sorry
mountmsdosfs(): disk too big, sorry
Just a guess here but it's likely the drive was formatted as NTFS
instead of FAT-32 if it's a recent drive. Try mount_ntfs.
HTH,
Tried that, got:
webmail# mount_ntfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usbdrive
mount_ntfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument
Which doesn't make any sense to me, as it seems to
be telling me the /dev/da0s1 is an invalid argument.
Just for the hell of it, I tried:
webmail# mount_ntfs /dev/da0 /mnt/usbdrive
mount_ntfs: /dev/da0: Invalid argument
Argh. Hate it when what I expected to be a simple task
eats this much time.
