 Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2005 3:43 am Post subject: YaUP: Yet another USB Problem |
 |
|
Hiya folks! Long time reader, first time poster...
Actually, I'm quite the Linux noob and I'm having a problem with my USB drive (flash drive, pen drive, stick, etc...).
Here is my fstab entry for it:
| Code: | | /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbstick vfat noauto,user,rw 0 0 |
The problem is this...
If I mount the drive manually with | Code: | | mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbstick |
everything works fine. The drive mounts and the file system is set as vfat. On the other hand, if I use Konqueror (devices >> right click >> mount) it mounts fine, but the file system is set as msdos. The drive works fine but I hate the mangled 8.3 file names, and more than anything I'm frustrated because I can't figure this out on my own.
Here's the pertinent part of my dmesg:

Based on all the posts I have read here and elsewhere I believe I have my kernel (2.6.10-gentoo-r4) compiled with all the necessary modules and such. I just can't seem to figure out why this is happening.
Thanking you all in advance,
Duggum |

Um, I don't know the difference between vfat and msdos. Aren't they the same? Tell us whether it can be read or not. I though7 that vfat was msdos! (duhh!?)

Try setting the filesystem type to auto and seeing what happens.

either dont include msdos in your kernel or tell konqueror not to use the "auto" method which defaults to msdos over vfat.

I have tried setting the filesystem to auto in fstab and it still defaults to msdos when using Konqueror.
I don't feel like recompilin gm y kernel again atm, but I can't seem to find where I can tell Konqueror to not use "auto" as dsd mentioned. Can someone help me out on that one?
Thanks again,
duggum |

If explicitly defining as vfat doesn't solve it I'd remove msdos support altogether.
