Subject: Mounting vfat in fstab


Hey everyone...

In my fstab I have two partitions mounted as vfat (they are the drives I
usually use with win95.)  On boot-up, it says that the partitions have the
wrong mode number or that vfat is not supported.  However, when I manually
mount them at the command line with 'mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5',
it works fine.  Any clue what the dealie is?

Thanks..



You have the vfat system loaded as module. Check this with lsmod

If is is a module, the system won't know it at the time it checks the
partitions. Recompile your kernel with vfat included in the kernel.
