Sometimes I need it, because it supports the long filename > FAT filesystem (VFAT), while FreeBSD doesn't. I always read my DOS-partitions with the mtools (too many disk crashes because of the lousy dos-mount-support) and they are really fine to read & write VFAT. I use the foolowing version: Mtools version 3.6, dated 14 Apr 97 I think there is a newer one at this time but you need at least 3.6 to get VFAT to work.
