Mount selected USB drives as msdos filesystem

[geoganoe]

I recently switched to the Ubuntu 10.10 version from the 8.04 version, and when I looked for the Drive and Volume tabs in the USB Properties dialog, they were no longer available. In 8.04, I used the Volume tab to set the mount point and file system for selected CompactFlash drives connected to the computer through a USB adapter. It is important that these selected drives be mounted as msdos rather than vfat because of the characteristics of the legacy system that they are used with.

My question is: how do I get the functionality I had in 8.04 under the Drive and Volume tabs of the device properties dialog?

I'm wondering if maybe Ubuntu version 8.04 just had more versatility than the newer version 10.10 does. There seem to be a lot of changes that reduce the capabilities of the various user dialogs from what was available in 2008. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I imagining things?
