mounting win32 partition the right way

i'm currently mounting my fat32 partition like this

mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/hda5 -t vfat -o umask=000

this works well but
-directories that are all uppercase are displayed as lowercase dirs
-in some directories i don't have write access in other's i have

Just curious, why don't you keep this in your fstab? Then all you have to do is mount /dev/hda5.

Re: mounting win32 partition the right way

the thing for the upper/lowercase stuff is "shortname=win95" but couldn't findt anything to get write access for really all dirs...
