[mount sda] Strange filenames after mount of sda[solved]

#1 Post by Béèm »

As MUT, for some reason, don't work anymore, I can only mount my USB device (sda) by hand.
I give 'mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda'
When I look at the files with ROX, I have shortened filenames with a tilde in there, seems to be the dos 8.3 format.
Is there an extra parameter to set to get the full filename?

yes, try:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/sda

what version of Puppy are you running? maybe we can help you to get Mut working again
