dos-partition mount bug

[Andreas Huppert <Andreas.Huppert@philosys.de>]

> Hi,
The following bug-report concerns all linux-versions (inclusive 2.2.18) I have
had to do with!

> I have been trying to mount the dos-partition /dev/hdb1 on /dos/d for
> three years and it fails:
> My /etc/fstab is:
> /dev/hda3 / ext2 defaults 0 1
> /dev/hdb2 /downloads ext2 defaults 0 1
> /proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
> /dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
> /dev/hda4 /usr ext2 defaults 0 2
> /dev/hda1 /dos/c vfat user,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 2
> /dev/hda5 /dos/e vfat user,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 2
> /dev/hdb1 /dos/d vfat user,noexec,nosuid,nodev 0 2
> 
> and "mount /dos/d" sais:
> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
>        or too many mounted file systems
> 
> strace sais:
> mount("/dev/hdb1", "/dos/d", "vfat",
> MS_NOSUID|MS_NODEV|MS_NOEXEC|0xc0ed0000, 0x8056fc8) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid
> argument)
> 
> I don´t need to say, that mounting /dos/c and /dos/e works without any
> problem. On the other hand win'98 works with all dos-partitions normally.
> Thanks
