My understanding is that vfat provides the long filename support, whether the filesystem is a FAT16 or FAT32. MSDOS provides the old 8.3 filenames.
I just tried it. One of my computers doesn't have msdos compiled in the kernel, though vfat is. The other only gave me the short filenames, even when I tried to create a long filename under Linux. Vfat gave me long filenames. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Statux Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 10:22 PM To: list redhat (general) Subject: Re: mounting a floppy > i put a floppy disc in > it's a windows disc. > i type the following as root: There's no such thing as a Windows disk :) anyway... > mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floopy/ -t vfat vfat is for mounting fat32 partitions (or the like). _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
