DOS/Fat16 does not support long filenames - you'd have to use vfat (FAT32) format on the floppy. On Monday, May 22, 2000 7:13 PM, Alvaro A. Novo [SMTP:novo@uiuc.edu] wrote:

Hi,

This is driving me nuts, particularly because I had it working, but can't make it work again. (I setup a new box.... and the old one is gone for 15 days, at least).

Suppose I have a Dos formatted floppy with a filename like mybigfieexample.txt. What do I need to place in fstab so that upon mounting the floppy I see:

mybigfileexample.txt and NOT mybigf~1.txt

I tried "auto" and "umdos" to no avail.

All hints are appreciated. Thanks,

Alvaro Novo
