I used my pendrive to take some files to another machine and when I got home 
again I discovered to my horror that the other machine had altered the 
filesystem to a msdos one of some kind, and implanted a whole lot small data 
files on to my pendrive.

To my annoyance I now cannot mount the pendrive as a vfat partition inspite of 
repartitioning it with a partition type of 0x0b and making a file-system with 
the mkdosfs utility.

Anybody got any good ideas as to how to make a partition and filesystem on the 
pendrive which will mount as a vfat? ( want something which will cope with 
long filenames and be portable across Linux, Win, and MacOS )
