Alright,
what does this mean?
[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab

and I thought RH9 Supported fat32 as vfat

Help

Based on what you've posted perhaps you just need to add a final newline (aka carriage return) at the end of the last line in the file. Can you describe the context of this issue in more detail? -- J.W.

I partitioned my hard drive to be to for two File systems
I tried to format: mkfs.vfat, it says attempting to create a too large file system. and them it puts up a new promyt. it seems like nothing happens.
I tried to mount the new filesytem and it says " filesystem not supported by kernal. " and as for the /etc/fstab

I work on this machine though SSH and I hit enter after I was done putting in the new line so i assumed it was there.

I am very new to linux I catch on quick but some time get a little stuck

cat /proc/filesystems will tell you which filesystems are supported by the kernel, if vfat isn't supported you will need to recompile your kernel.

ok vfat is listed but, what does 'nodev' mean in front of some of the listed filesystem?

vfat is not one of them but just to know.

sorry, I am a WinDoze guy trying to repent and reform.
