20355707b2 Fix a missed "s/msdos/msdosfs/g" expression 2009-02-02 19:46:41 +00:00
Giorgos Keramidas
dfe9966e3f Using "mount -t msdos" is deprecated; the canonical name of the 
filesystem type is "msdosfs".  There has been some compatibility
glue in mount(8) to silently convert "mount -t msdos" to "mount
-t msdosfs" for a while now, but using the deprecated name may
cause errors when someone tries to "umount -t msdos".  The later
doesn't work at all.
