I also found that the option shortname=winnt handles filename case better. For example, if you have a linux file named README, without this option copying the file to the vfat will cause it to be renamed Readme. With this option the case is preserved. /dev/hdc5 /mnt/fat vfat defaults, gid=100, umask=002, shortname=winnt 0 0 Brian
