So you *do* have it as module. Kerneld autoloads it automatically
whenever you need it to mount a vf
That's the one:
$lsmod
vfat4 2
I didn't have vfat as a module in the kernel either, but I guess it
doesn't need to be.

You probably have vfat as a module. Whe
Are you sure you get that with the msdos filesystem? I didn't. To see
long filenames, I had to install vfat.

I get that now, 'without' vfat. Although I don't have vfat compiled
into the kernel, I am mounting my Win drives with the 'vfat' type option
(apparently quite sucessfully), which is why I asked the question.
Seems a bit strange.

For one, vfat let's you see long filenames in Linux.

What does compiling vfat support into your kernel do for you? I only
ask because I don't have it, but I do mount my Windows95 drives under
linux, and I seem to be able to use them ok (except for permissions,
which I suppose don't exist on them)

Hi,
The kernel comes with Debian was not configured with vfat support.
During
boot time mount is processed before kerneld, therefore you can't mount vfat file
systems before kerneld is processed. After login (before login, kerneld is
processed) then you can mount the vfats.
