How to use fstab-sync?

[Thomas Gufler]

Hi,

thanks for your answer. I made the symlink and now fstab-sync works.

Now I am faced with an other (small) problem: 
fstab-sync adds an entry for my usbstick with msdos as file system type. But 
with msdos as type the length of the filename is limited to 8 (+3 extension) 
characters. So the filenames look like this: semina~1.sxw
However if I mount my usbstick with vfat as type I get the full file name 
(e.g. SeminararbeitS2.sxw)
IMHO it would be better if fstab-sync also use vfat as type.
