So here are the directions I used to install pkg FUSEFS with help from https://x.com/i/grok

https://spmzt.net/2023/04/12/FreeBSD-Automount/   Automount NTFS EXT4 and FAT

How to Automount NTFS, EXT4, and FAT File Systems on FreeBSD and Allow Non-Root User Access

https://x.com/i/grok?conversation=1993557494006972693   Installing FUSEFS

 

 freebsd@generic:/mnt/usb % cat /etc/rc.conf
hostname="generic"
ifconfig_DEFAULT="DHCP inet6 accept_rtadv"
sshd_enable="YES"
sendmail_enable="NONE"
sendmail_submit_enable="NO"

growfs_enable="YES"
powerd_enable="YES"
# Set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"
fuse_load="YES"
kld_list="fusefs"

Confirm It's exFAT (Since file -s Was Vague)file -s only peeked at the boot sector header and saw a generic DOS/MBR signature (normal for exFAT). Run this to check the full signature:

sh

sudo dd if=/dev/da0s1 bs=512 count=1 | hexdump -C -n 128

 TAR XZ   some directories into a single tar.xz or tar.gz file for sharing.

tar -cJvf slash_dev.tar.gz /dev
