This sounds like the documented behavior if the drive was empty or had no long filenames when you mounted it. From mount_msdosfs(8): "If neither -s nor -l are given, mount_msdosfs searches the root directory of the file system to be mounted for any existing Win'95 long filenames. If no such entries are found, but short DOS filenames are found, -s is the default. Otherwise -l is assumed." -o longnames should do the trick. Alson
