How to mount/make a FAT system on Linux

kyoist · #1 (**permalink**) 10-17-2005

Yea i was wondering how i would mount, and create a FAT directory that way i can save files in the FAT directory in a windows system and be able to access them on Linux systems. Or if there is any other way to share files between Linux and Windows. Any responds will help... thanks!

to create a fat filesystem , you can use the command mkfs.msdos or mkdosfs .

The syntax of the command is very simple : mkdosfs /dev/hdx

to mount a fat filesystem , you'll have just to use the mount command , for example :

mount /dev/hdx /windows
