Trouble with automounting large fat file systems

[tim-m89]

When on the command line I have to use the 'large' option like this:

mount -t msdosfs -o large /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb

but I need gnome/hal to also pass the 'large' option when attempting to automount drives of a large size so I attempted exactly this but it still isn't using the 'large' option. I have tried rebooting my computer and I don't know why hal isn't behaving the way I it should despite the new fdi file.

I had passed that argument when I mounted my USB drive. The system did NOT have a problem with the command; then again, I did this in /boot/loader.conf:

geom_eli_load="YES"

I do not know if that helped. Also, I believe I put the '-o large' option before the fs type. Sorry I can't say anything else; I don't know. Hope this helps.

Sorry I think you may have skimmed my post too quickly. My system has no problem with the command, it's just that it doesn't use the 'large' option when automounting.
