that was dosfstools-2.8-15 from Fedora.
So I can't even fsck the stupid thing so it could be mounted.

patch is attached.

(Concur)^1000000. I was going to wait till at least 2.6.10 -- need
reliable operation, and all the "this-and-that-major-function-is-
broken-again" messages were putting me off -- but Alan can be trusted.
Gratefully..............

OK :) I reverted the ac5 FAT patch and applied this one,
now it mounts nicely. Thanks.

I made little accident: /mnt/usb was mounted but I had removed the

then I ran ls, but to my surprise dir listing contained data from a file
I had just written to /tmp.
Where did them get pulled from?
