I'm sorry I can't be more specific with a short title.
I've "just completed" "the simplest basic install" of freebsd (nearly everything default -I can give details -if- they are necessary, it'll require me to re-install and write everything down..), giving it xfce (super simple desktop), to which I've added firefox and blender. ..I now want to collect my blender files to work with them..
1) When I insert the usb, two "file systems" are "recognized" -ie, they appear on the desktop. one is a 15 GB volume, the other is "the" ventoy partition, vtoyefi. (https://www.ventoy.net/en/faq.html). The usb was created/formatted, to the best I can recall, by windows 10. So it could totally be an incompatible file system problem.
2) I can access the files in the ventoy partition, though I don't recognize any of them. the 15 GB volume won't mount, so .. I can't access any of the files. Those are the files I'm trying to access. It contains "ordinary" files and folders, and several iso files that I've been using for installing operating systems. Including, interestingly, freebsd.
3) From the desktop, I can mount and unmount the ventoy partition. the 15 G partition fails to mount with: "failed to mount (partition name), mount failed with _______________ (nothing)"
4) In the file manager, if I try to eject either volume, it says: "the device is being ejected. this may take some time..". if I wait half-an-hour, it will continue saying the same thing.
5) following one of the requests on this page I have the output of
