Am I a dummy for expecting a flash drive formatted (disklabel -E; newfs) on amd64 to be mount-able on an #octeon machine?

# mount -v /dev/sd1a /mnt/usb
mount_ffs: /dev/sd1a on /mnt/usb: Invalid argument

Does that mean the drive is trash, or should I simply try reformatting on the octeon box itself?

@scotttyb IIRC, octeon is big-endian. FFS is not endian neutral and can’t be shared across BE and EL.

@guenther Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for pointer. I'll be sure to keep my exotic arches' external storage separate!
