Mornin' Jason... Umm, I think that you'd need to mount the Zip drive as vfat type, not msdos type. Just like MS-DOS itself, the msdos type evidently restricts you to 8.3 naming. Just a logical shot in the dark, since I'm not familiar with either partition type under FreeBSD. --- Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of > Jason Corcoran > Sent: Monday, March 12, 2001 6:10 AM > To: BSDQ > Subject: FREEBSD AND DOS NAMING CONVENTIONS. > > > 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.
