connect 3d 512MB memory stick

[Randy Jonasz]

Hello everyone,

A little while ago I bought a usb memory stick and have been using it with 
windows for travelling back and forth from school. Today I managed to get 
gentoo linux to recognize the stick and allow me to mount it with 

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb 

One question I have is why the filenames are in 8.3 format in linux while in 
windows I have extended names

also is this normal for dmesg after connecting the stick?
