Hello list,

I have setup amd and it works fine. Only one special situation is making
me crazy. When I want to use a USB-Stick without data on it, amd is
mounting it with the 8.3-limitation. I've added the option longname in my
map-file but it still ignores this option... Does somebody knows about
this behavior?

My amd.map:

usb type:=pcfs;opts:=utimout=1,longname;dev:=/dev/da0s1

I'm taking a guess here, but if it has 'no data', could it be that it's
formatted FAT, as in FAT-8, not 16 or 32, cause then longname support is
rejected by the filesystem itself.

No it is not formatted as FAT16. When I use manually:
# mount -t msdosfs -o longnames /dev/da0s1 /mnt
and then copy files on the empty USB-Stick via:
# cp * /mnt
then the longnames are recognized... This problem is only appearing when I use
amd!

But it was a good guess :-)

Maybe other ideas?
