I use a dual OS/2 and SuSE 9.3 system. SuSE recognizes a flashdrive

added to fstab and are all recognized. However, the temporary
flashdrive is not.
Why would you want to? As a old time OS/2 user, I seem to recall that even
extended attributes can be kept on a FAT drive. And you might not be able to
read a HPFS flashdrive under Windows. (yes, you'll nee to, one day :-)


FlashDrives formated FAT come up in mtab, but I don't know enough to
fool with this file or even if I should.
I know the USB mass storage drives come up in my Linux, wether they're in
FAT, NTFS, ext2/3 or ReiserFS. So liogically they should in HPFS, too.

Any help from you "experts" would be appreciated.
Put it in FAT, it's safest and most supported.


PS: What release of OS/2 are you using ?
