Re: name of file system : "unknown filesystem type 'FAT32"

[Angelo Moreschini]

Hi Joachim,

"-t vfat"  worked... [?]

[angelo_user@zorro ~]$ sudo mount --type vfat /dev/sde1 /media/tmp_USB1
[angelo_user@zorro ~]$ ls -l /media/tmp_USB1

*So, vfat include FAT32..*.

Thank you very much .

But,  ....how I can know -in general- things like this ..?

Can you give me a link to a such documentation?
