AFIAK there is a limit of 2GB for files on fat32 - perhaps this is the thing...

Hi folks,
I want to use a fat32 partiotion for the recordings folder, because I occasionaly record from windows on that folder, too (the machine still has a multi-boot desktop role, I hope we'll soon find another appartment to move in, then this will be our real HTPC and I think Freevo is what I'll be running for that purpose in the end). That fails. First I thought there must be a ivtv.record-plugin problem, but after finding this error in the recordserver log...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
... I tried the whole thing with the recording folder set somewhere on my root partition, which is ext3, and everything worked!!!
As you may see in the log, I'm using Python 2.3. Further package versions are freevo-1.4.1, mmpython-1.6, ivtv-0.1.9.
I then tried to manually move the recorded shows to the fat32 folder I initially wanted to record to, and mc failed! But I can create folders, delete files there as root or as ordinary user, because I'm mounting that partition in fstab like this:
/dev/discs/disc0/part8 /mnt/other/E vfat defaults,noexec,umask=000 0 0
which make me think the problem shouldn't be really freevo-related, but I thought other people running freevo might have encountered this.
So, what could it be? Could the file name of the recorded mpeg file be the problem? Something related with NLS, code page on that file system? I remeber I had such problems in the past on fat32 and ntfs, with files I created with non-latin1 characters in the file name while the regional settings of windows wher for example set to let's say romanian, which allowed me to use some latin2 characters, and then, after some time the regional settings where english or german, don'nt remember, I couldn't access those files anymore, in any way (delete, listen to mp3 or things like that, nothing worked).
What other information should I provide?
Cheers, Lucian
