Mounting a fat32 partition...

[Joshua Bassett]

Hey Chip,

Why don't you show me yr fstab? Don't be afraid to slap any
configuration files into your emails...it only increases your chances
of someone helping you out ;)

It's definitely possible (right now) to mount a fat32 partition so
obviously something isn't setup right. Make sure you've got the type
set to "vfat" in your fstab and double-check the device you're trying
to mount is the right one.

Generally, I test mounting new devices by hand before I put it in my
fstab, it's easier to debug any problems as you can do it
interactively.

eg. sudo mount -t vfat /dev/<device> /<mount-point>

If that doesn't work start scratching yr head :) Once you've got it
right you can add those settings to yr fstab...

cya,
