Are you sure everything is sparse BUNDLES and no sparseimages?
Yes.
Remember, the bundle is made up of 8MB files, all in one directory.
This is NOT a good format for FAT32. a 200GB time machine
sparsebundle will contain over 25,000 files in one folder.
OUCH.
11 thousand band files on the one giving me the most trouble.
3500 on the next trouble maker(s).
Time to seriously consider reformatting.
In general, OS X users should avoid FAT32 like the plague except for
the very limited use of having a disk that needs to move between a
PC and a Windows machine and will contain medium to large sized
files in a coherent directory structure.
Moving back and forth was the original idea when the drive was
purchased.
So the "shared" section was formatted Fat32.
Then came the "Sit it here, and put a shared bundle volume so it can
be backed up" idea.
Never reformatted.
... I can, and probably should, reformat.
