automounting a hard drive has a msdos instead of vfat

[Canadianpride]

Hi.
I'm running puppy 2.13 frugal install on my laptop. In the rc.local file I added this line mount/hda1 /root/data

This worked fine, the only problem was that when it auto mounted it It would for some reason mount it as an msdos instead of the vfat it is. This isn't a problem except for the fact that when copying files with long names to the hard drive they overwrite one another. If I mount the drive using mut then it sees that it's a vfat. Hope you can understand that. Anyone with any Idea on how I can fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Matthew.

this should work:

mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/data

you could mount hda1 on /mnt/hda1 instead of /mnt/data if you prefer

Perfect.

Thanks!
