Getting "Invalid argument" when trying to mount a fat32 flash drive. I've included what I think is relevant information (dmesg, camcontrol, and usbconfig have been trimmed). Any insight as to why I can't mount this flash drive?

Code:
mount_msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/misc/
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument

mount -t msdosfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/misc/
mount_msdosfs: /dev/da0s1: Invalid argument

gpart show /dev/da0
=>  63  15663041  da0  MBR  (7.5G)
	63  15662997  1  fat32  (7.5G)
	15663060  44  - free -  (22K)

file -s /dev/da0
/dev/da0: DOS/MBR boot sector; partition 1 : ID=0xb, start-CHS (0x0,1,1), end-CHS (0x3ce,249,63), startsector 63, 15662997 sectors, extended partition table (last)

file -s /dev/da0s1
/dev/da0s1: data

camcontrol devlist
<Corsair Flash Voyager 1100>  at scbus7 target 0 lun 0 (da0,pass5)

usbconfig
ugen1.3: <Flash Voyager Corsair> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (100mA)

Thanks,
Craig

Ehhh 7 gigs you could have plugged it in a Windows box and transferred the data over the network faster than creating that post.

Mounting other filesystem isn't that great. Did you try and import a disk using the GUI that is what it's for.

This is what I get when trying to import disk through the web GUI:

Hence, why I opted for CLI mounting, which I usually have better luck with.

Did you read the error? The destination needs to be in your pool and exist
