Wouldn't it be better to use 'vfat' instead of 'msdos'? I don't think msdos supports long file names, for instance. Another option would be to use 'auto' to have the filesystem automatically recognised, which is useful if you also use other filesystems on USB media. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan [Yama | http://www.pclinuxonline.com/] {GnuPG/OpenPGP: http://dhanapalan.webhop.net/yama.asc 0x049D38B4 : A7A9 8A02 78CB AB1B FCE4 EEC6 2DD9 249B 049D 38B4} "Windows XP is not an operating system.
