It would appear that your da0s1 has data at the front that looks like an MBR and GEOM is attaching to it. I'm not sure what the best solution to that problem is.

A), it works for a while, then freezes the system. The first time this happened it was when trying to unmount the filesystem. The second time was in the midst of copying data. Both times the system was completely frozen; not even the keyboard LEDs toggled. Strangely, I could connect on the SSH and FTP ports, but received no welcome banner. The third time I modified the script I was using to copy my files to sync and sleep after each file. This time the system seemed to freeze, then lurch through handling several interrupts (mouse pointer moved and a menu popped up from right-clicking), then froze again. Initially connecting to the SSH port brought up the banner after a very long delay, but an attempt to reproduce this was unsuccessful, and I was unable to actually SSH in. Mounting the filesystem synchronously doesn't seem to help. The first time it worked, but then when I unmounted and remounted it and copied some more files it froze midway through.

I've got FreeBSD 5.4-RC2 building today, actually; is it likely that this will solve my problem? It is quite likely that 5.4 fixed your problem. Not certain, of course, but many problems have been fixed recently. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form X is the one, true Y is FALSE.
