On my SuSE 9.1 box under my desk, I did a lsmod > before and the plugged in
a usb key.  I mounted it and did lsmod > after.  Here is a diff of before
and after:

kahlua:~ # diff before after

As you can see it has loaded usb_storage, fat and vfat.

Fdisk shows this:

kahlua:~ # fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 16 MB, 16384000 bytes
2 heads, 32 sectors/track, 500 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 64 * 512 = 32768 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1         499       15952    1  FAT12

I hope this helps.


Later
