Hi, everyone:

I'm now installing SAP under SLES9 and met a problem. All the installation CDs is on my USB disk. I want to mount the USB disk under SLES9 and copy these files to separate folders in SLES. I use commnd " mount -t vfat /dev/sdb5 /mnt". Then I "ls /mnt", there I see all the files in my USB disk. However, some folders' name is in upper letter in my USB disk, but under /mnt, they become lower letter. I need these folders upper letter just as they're on my USB drive, so I can install my SAP successfully. Can someone help to tell me how to mount the USB disk and don't change upper letter to lower letter ? Thanks in advance!

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.

Sorry for that. This will never happen again.

That happens because your disk has the FAT file system. You can try to format it in a linux direct compatible file system, like ext2, ext3 etc. That resolves it for sure.
If you don't want to do that, you can archive your files&directories using a common archive type, like .tar, and then store it on your USB memory.

Threads merged because one explains the OS and the other hasan answer - the thread resides in the SUSE/Novell forum.
