mount floppy and long file name

[lallous]

hello,

I formatted a floppy in windows as FAT. Naturally, in windows and FAT file
system i could create long file names.
How can i mount this floppy in SCO so that when i copy to it then SCO's long
file names are copied and preserved ?

As I unmount and check the disk in windows I see that all filenames are
truncated and upper case.

n.b: i mount as:
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy


Regards,
Elias

Why not use dosformat under Unix?

Why do you need the directory called /mnt/floppy, instead of just using
/mnt?
