Thanks for the tip on using the vfat mount option instead of msdos! I 
didn't realize my filenames were being reduced to 8 characters because 
after uploading my photos I rename them right away using jhead, which 
can rename them with the exif timestamp.

I used to use FreeBSD as my main system and have recently switched to 
Debian. I think the msdos usage is a habit from FreeBSD. I don't have 
it installed anymore to check this, but I think on FreeBSD the msdos 
option is different. Can anyone confirm? For example, when I triple 
booted among Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows I could mount my windows 
partition with mount -t msdos and see the full filenames. I wondered 
why it "didn't work" with Linux, where I saw short filenames when I 
did that.
