I tried both 1225 and 1255. No change in situation, ie, the drive
would not mount with the same error.

That did not work either, so I tried the -a flag as the mount manpage
says that it will unmount everything in /etc/mtab. I thought that mtab
was for things added to the filesystem that are not in fstab, ie,
removable media. I just cat'ed the file and I see that I was mistaken.
You know, the best way to learn is to break something! However, this
is my workstation and I really should be more careful.

SELinux is the reason that I also stay with Fedora for everyday work.
The other reason is that I really like the Fedora philosophy. I
usually stick with N-1, however, as the most current version is always
to broken for me.

Thank you, I know about this, this is how I find where things got stuck in /dev.

Does anyone? My one-year old is pushing her teeth out now, nobody sleeps!

As using copepage 1255 did not work, is there anything else that I
could try? I tried using flag -t msdos instead of -t vfat but that did
not help either.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
