You also need to specify the vfat file system when you mount a partition. For example to mount hda1 as vfat:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt I think if you don't specify vfat, it will mount as msdos by default, which will give you the truncated file names. Run the command df -T to see the file system of each mounted partition. Tom David B.
