           Summary: vfat mount broken on external USB devices
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: powerpc
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: hal
        AssignedTo: martin.pitt at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: svu at gnome.org
         QAContact: desktop-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


External USB devices using vfat system (checked with iPod shuffle and Nikon
Coolpix 885) cannot be mounted using gnome. Once I insert them, the icon appears
on the top of the desktop (in GNOME panel, gnome-mount applet or smth). When I
click on the icons and ask to mount - I get big error message:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc,
missing codepage or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.

I suspect the right device would be /dev/sdc1 - but how could I explain this to
the system?...
