I haven't touched this the past couple of kernels, so it may have changed, but another thread reminded me of this problem. I deal with diskettees at times from a variety of operating systems, including MacOS, OS/2, and vfat. As such, I'd thought the sensible move would be to specify "auto" as the filesystem in /etc/fstab, and let it pick out what to use. Well, it works fine for Minix and MacOS, and FAT filesystems, but when it comes to vfat, well, it sees FAT first, and goes with it to the exclusion of its nominally more powerful counterpart. Is there a way, other than rewriting the code for mount, to have it look that little bit more to see if the freshly found FAT volume is aactually vfat, or have I been fortunate and that is already done and I should just try it again? -- Mark L.
