Another way to do this is to put two entries in the fstab: /dev/zipdos /zipdos vfat noauto,user,sync 0 0 /dev/zipext /zipext ext2 noauto,user,sync 0 0
And to make the symlinks zipdos (ln -s /dev/sda4 /dev/zipdos) and zipext (ln -s /dev/sda4 /dev/zipext) point to sda4....
The auto option would work but when a vfat disk is inserted and mounted it will be mounted as msdos and not as vfat..... The 8.3 horror.....
Strange. On my system, the vfat zip is mounted as a vfat file system (not as a msdos FS) and thus there is no 8.3 limit there: $ grep zip /etc/fstab /dev/hdd4 /media/zip auto noauto,user 0 0 $ mount /media/zip $ mount | grep zip /dev/hdd4 on /media/zip type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=malusek) $ ls /media/zip # no 8.3 limit ctmod.tar.bz2 readme.txt I use SuSE 7.2. -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
