The 'mount' command doesn't automatically recognize vfat or msdos
filesytems, but does ext2; see:
man mount
But, if you have an /etc/filesystems file, 'mount' will read the
filesystem types listed from there and "try" to correctly decipher if
what you're trying to mount is one of those.
It seems to work well enough on my RH 7.0 machine.
My /etc/filesystems file:
ext2
nodev proc
nodev devpts
iso9660
vfat
hfs
Check out the documentation for details.
Best,
Tom
