What do I have to install to read a vfat usb device. I had no problems under 11.1 but the newly installed 11.3 says it is not able to recognize the file system
I presume that the USB device is loading correctly.
If you run lsmod | grep fat what do you get?
If you look in /proc/filesystems is there mention of vfat?
lsmod | grep fat results in nothing. grep fat /proc/filesystems results in nothing.
I think I need to know what rpm package to install to get vfat.
You don't. Its part of the kernel. Its a module. You should find it under /lib/modules/ for your specific kernel You load it as a module. Do read up on modules. All file systems are handled by kernel modules :-) I load this aurtmaticaly/always becuase I have it configured in /etc/sysconfig/kernel If you want to jsut load it the once, use modprobe vfat See man 8 modprobe and man 5 filessytems and /etc/filessytems -- "If you have only one layer of protection you are only as safe as the next bug-de-jour" - Brad M Powell, Snr Network Security Architect, Sun Microsystems -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
