can't mount a fat32 partition
I have mounted my /dev/hda1 and hda6 successfully but I can't mount my d:/
drive. I tried to give several blocksize=xxx options to mount without success.
Also fsck.vfat gives me an error (see below). But of course Windows has no
problem with this filesystem inconsistency, scandisk reports no error and the
filesystem seems to work properly.
Is this a bug in mount? Where could I ask for help?
