Message-Id: yu9aao34yi1.fsf@nyu.edu
1 I have a sansa MP3 player and a Flip Video. Each plugs in as a usb
2 device and presents as a fat file system.
3
4 Both used to work, but don't today (it is has been a while--few
5 months--since I last plugged them in.
6
7 Now the device screen shows that it is connected, but I see nothing on
8 the computer
9 df shows no new file system
10 mount shows no new file system
11
12 I checked and FAT/VFAT are in the kernel
13
14 # DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems
15 CONFIG_FAT_FS=y
16 CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y
17 CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=437
18 CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET="iso8859-1"
