Does Solaris mount and recognize MS Windows 9x/ME/2K/XP partitions with long file names (VFAT)?
Solaris 2.6 and above uses the "long" (VFAT) file names, but earlierversions of Solaris use the "short" (DOS/FAT/8.3) file name
(for example, "progra~1").
Solaris 2.6 recognizes the case (e.g. "Program Files/"),
which may be optionally folded to lower case ("program files")
with the foldcase mount option.
Earlier "Solari" folds DOS file names to lower case only.
VFAT refers to the file naming convention and is completely
separate from FAT16/FAT32 (see a earlier question for that).
