Mounting USB drive (w/ existing data)

[sboutros]

I have TrueNAS-13.0-U5.3 running on a Dell R710.
All running fine.

I have a 5T external USB drive with 2 partitions (with existing data on each partition).
1 partition is FAT and the other is Ext3
I would like to mount both partitions for R/W access.
I have tried via GUI and via command line.

Via GUI: Storage->Import Disks - resulting in rsync failures (err codes: 10 & 11).

Via Cmd:
mount -t msdofs /dev/da7p1 /mnt/sea_fat
mount: /dev/da7p1: Operation not supported by device

mount /dev/da7p1 /mnt/sea_fat
mount: /dev/da7p1: No such file or directory

I assume what I am trying to do should be supported to an extent based on what the GUI implies.
Just wondering why both approaches fail.

For the ext3 partition: mount -t ext2fs /dev/da7p1 /mnt/media_ext3.

mount(8)

man.freebsd.org

You can use file -s /dev/da7p1 to check which file system is on the device.

msdosfs(5)

man.freebsd.org

Why?

The "Import Disk" function is meant only to copy data from another filesystem into a ZFS dataset on your pool.

TrueNAS is not meant to be used to manage non-ZFS data.
