Hi there,

I installed FreeBSD about two weeks ago for the In true testing manner I messed
it up and had to do a reinstall.

It all went fine, I recompiled my kernel with sound and device vpo for my
external 100MB Zip drive, The problem is after the reinstall the naming of the
files on the zip disks are different. They seem to be like old DOS 6.2 versions
of long names for Win 9X. I.E. thisisatestfile.txt now reads like thisis~1.txt
I have mounted the zip drive as 

/dev/wda01s /zip  type msdos

Is there something I'm missing out on ?
