- In my fstab, I have the following line that I have been using for months
- to mount dos on a reboot:
-
- /dev/hda1 /usr/dos msdos defaults
-
- I haven't had any problems yet with that. I mainly just use it for copying
- files back and forth. This was where I ever heard problems existed, and I have
- yet to be able to hurt anything on that partition.
