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 )
Should work.
