Re: [newbie] Strange.. dissappeared files and cache in mc?

1. what OS are you using on home and office PC? Sometimes ago I had 
problems formatting a vfat partition from Linux: it was not recognized 
from DOS. I had to reformat it from DOS. Could it be that the 
linux-formatted vfat partition was not visible from the office PC 
bacause you accessed it from a windows PC?

2. sorry, don't know about mc. bash, bash, bash!

Dear all,
I have a strange case.
I formatted my hdb into hdb1 with vfat fs, mounting it, and copied
some files into it using mc (midnight commander).
Then I moved the hdb into my home pc and it's empty! I can mount
it, but it's empty.
After that, I formatted it with vfat and copied some files. I
brought it again into my office pc and using mc, I saw the content
as the same as before I formatted it.
However, it turn out that I haven't mounted it, so, after I did it,
the content is correct, the same as I copied at home.
So, I'm confused on these matters:
1. Why when I opened the hd in my home pc, it was empty?
2. Is mc caching it's view?
Any clue is most appreciated.
Thanks guys.


Is there a line in fstab for that partition?  If so, please post it 
here so that we can see it.
