[SLE] Fwd: Dos floppy + long filenames
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.

It works here with "auto", but maybe you could try "vfat". A dos floppy is defacto a 8.3 format fat. A win9x formatted floppy however is a vfat floppy.
