Re: Where is the vfat, dos support in 2.0.34 ????

1998-07-03 Thread Christopher Barry
Hi,

You know Robert, you seem to be experiencing the exact same problems I've been 
that
I've overcome in the past 2 days with my hamm install. I posted to the list 
about this
specific filesystem support thing in the past 48 hours or so and got a ton of 
replies.

You need to enable the 'nls' (native languages support) option during make 
config,
make menuconfig, whatever and then all the msdos, vfat etc. filesystems will 
magically
appear. I think they should more clearly label this by making all of these a 
sub-group
of nls and using the '--' that they do with the other sub-groups, so that 
you
know it leads to more options.

Chris

 kernel compiled and installed just fine and runs flawlessly but of
 course my

 mount -t vfat /dev/hdb6 /DATAFILES

 command failes with  ... vfat not supported by the kernel ... 

 linux/fs/filesystems.c mentions them ...

 What am I doing wrong  I would badly need support for vfat and if
 possible for FAT32 ... Thank you in advance for any help.

In menuconfig, under FileSystems, when you turn on Native Language
Support you'll see the other options for DOS/WIN.
