Kernel does not support fat32
« on: 30 March 2002, 12:35 »
Ok I'm trying to mount a win32 drive.  When I installed SuSE 7.3 I had hda1 as NTFS and hda5 as NTFS.  I formatted hda5 to fat32 from within windows 2k since I couldn't write to the NTFS file system.  After the format I changed my /ect/fstab file to the following:
/dev/hda5 /windows/D  fat32  ro,noauto,user,unmaks=022 0 2

Then I tried to mount the drive and got a error that the kernel does not support fat32.

Any ideas?

OK so I answered my own question.  Now I feel really stupid.  I searched google for about 2 hrs and didn't find anything.  Then I found this article http://www.zdnet.co.uk/help/tips/story/0,2802,e7107404,00.html

My problem was that I though I was susposed to us fat32 when I was susposed to use vfat.

I mounted using to following so that I had read/write acess to the drive.
mount -t vfat -o uid=500 /dev/hda5 /windows/D
