My newest build of FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT from today (11/18/2005) shows a behaviour on MSDOS mounted drives that I never saw before: As always I mounted my FAT32 partitions like this: # mount_msdosfs /dev/ad0s5 /WINDAT In the past I got full access on long formatted names for directories and files. With my newest build there are only short names in 8.3 convention, all in small letters. The option '-o longnames' (as described in manpage mount_msdosfs) gives the following error: # mount_msdosfs: /dev/ad0s5: Invalid argument Option '-o longname' (without ending 's') does the mount, but names remain in 8.3 convention. Looking in /usr/src/sys/fs/msdosfs/msdosfs_vfsops.c [Version 1.147 from 2005/10/31 15:41:20] there is a naming discrepancy against the manpage: supported options are 'shortname' and 'longname' without s. I hope I did not misunderstood this. FYI: The mount and access on my NTFS formatted drives seems to function normal. Has anybody else observed this behaviour? Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Rainer Hurlinghome | help
