[MiNT] VFAT partitions




Is there any way to determine if a partition is VFAT
with long filenames or just old 8+3  ?

I currently have this in mint.cnf

FS_VFAT=F,G,L,M,O,P,Q,R,S,T,W,X

covering two drives and we also have the added bonus of usb
memory sticks.

If mint could work out which drives have are long filenames
at boot-time then it would only need to be set once using
something like MintSetter.

This would make it easier to install a new hard disk since
it would be one less pitfall.

I don't know if there is anything in the partition that would
indicate the difference.
