Hi,

man mount_msdos snippet:
-s Force behaviour to ignore and not generate Win'95 long
filenames.
-l Force listing and generation of Win'95 long filenames and
sepa?
rate creation/modification/access dates.
If neither -s nor -l are given, mount_msdos searches the root
directory of the filesystem 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.
And this works:
su-2.05a# mount_msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/
su-2.05a# ls /mnt/
longfilename.text*
su-2.05a# mdir a:
Volume in drive A has no label
Volume Serial Number is 3B8E-FE09
Directory for A:/
LONGFI~1 TEX 5 08-27-2002 15:12 longfilename.text
1 file 5 bytes
1 457 152 bytes free
su-2.05a#
Ciao
Siegbert
