I can mount it just fine. When I "ls" it, it shows me all the files from a subdirectoy in the partition. If I "ls -l", I get a buch of "foo.bar: file not found", where foo.bar is a file on the partition. Also, if I try to cat any of the files, I get "file not found" errors. It seemed to work just fine on a floppy however. Now in hunting down the problem, I came across a reference in the man pages stating that mounting msdos filesystems created by MSDOS versions after 3.3 could be problematic. Is this still true and is this what I'm seeing? If not... any other clues from the collective wisdom of CUBFM?
