Hi All
The trouble here is that i am using the "vfat" option when mounting the "fat32" drive.
If I was mounting as msdos shouldn't i see msdos "short" filenames ( "abcdef~1.txt" )?
What i get is filenames like "abcdefgh.txt" instead of "abcdefghijklmnop.txt"
When mounting the CD I use the iso9660 option and get the same filename tweak as
described before.
Is linux taking a decission of it's own to ignore fat32 and still mount anything as
msdos?
If you guy's still think msdos mounting is the case, can you suggest how i can
determine if it is so?
besides checking "fstab" entries which are using "vfat".
I still think that there should be a clue for one of you out there when both the CD
and the FAT32 is behaving like this.
Thanks for any help
