- From the 11.0 system;
steve at blue:~> zgrep FAT /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_X86_MCE_NONFATAL=y
# DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems
CONFIG_FAT_FS=m
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=m
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=437
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET="iso8859-1"
Sources BETTER match -- this is a "Stock Install" using the SuSE
installer....

And then, when I manually mount using (as automount does not work on
this device -- although it did on SuSE 10.0);
sda64:~ # mount -t vfat -o fat=32,shortname=win95 /dev/sdc1 /media/SEAGATE
Syslog shows;
Jan 31 16:21:23 sda64 kernel: FAT: "fat=32" option is obsolete, not
supported now
But the drive does mount.

Steve
