> anything I plug in USB doesn't need any -t msdos or anything. I've never had to specify -t anything > I cant say for sure as USB is the first PC spec I didn't read! Can't say I've read any specs I just work it out/guess/make something up :P Of course we can speculate until the cows come home so I took the liberty of hunting for the truth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usb_mass_storage#Device_access "The USB mass storage specification does not require any particular file system to be used on conforming devices. Instead, it provides a simple interface to read and write sectors of data—much like the low-level interface used to access any hard drive—using the "SCSI transparent command set." Operating systems may treat the USB drive like a hard drive, and can format it with any file system they like." -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
