Sometimes "long filename" recognition doesn't work (also on 5.x), so you
must use a command line switch / argument to mount_msdosfs.

     -o options
             Use the specified mount options, as described in mount(8).  The
             following MSDOS file system-specific options are available:

             longnames
                     Force Windows 95 long filenames to be visible.

             shortnames
                     Force only the old MS-DOS 8.3 style filenames to be
visi-
                     ble.

             nowin95
                     Completely ignore Windows 95 extended file information.
