I've had success with moving .exe .doc .etc files to and from - no problem (except for the truncated file names). no, if you can mount and use the win95 filesystem, and the only problem is truncated filenames, then you have vfat (which is still FAT16), and you can solve the problem by adding -t vfat to the mount command as noted above. vfat is not a FAT32. With FAT32, the cluster size is 4KB EVEN the partition is bigger than 512MB. FAT32 is not compatible with VFAT. You need to apply the patch from http://www-plateau.cs.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/fat32.html, then compile the kernel.
Re: can Linux r/w Windoze FAT32?
Unless its changed in the past few months, Linux can read and write to dos/windows 95 partitions without a problem. There are two ways. The first is with the mtools (do a man mtools to get more info), although this is usually only with a floppy. The second way is to mount the win95 partition using: mount -t vfat /dev/??? /mountDir This should work like a charm. Let me know if it doesn't ... -- Harmon

Yes. And it also supports long filenames on those partitions.

RE: can Linux r/w Windoze FAT32?
Yes! Put your windoze partitition in your /etc/fstab file. Something like this /dev/hda1 /mnt/windoze vfat defaults 1 1 Note that I may not have this syntax exactly correct, so check it before you write it. Also you need to create /mnt/windoze before attempting to mount it. Ah, yes, your kernel needs to have the appropriate fs support for this to run. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] . . . kc5xh . . . . .
