I am upgrading my workstation from SuSE 10.0 to 10.2, and while being at it I
am considering changing the disk partitioning. It's a dual boot machine
(Linux and WindowsXP) and I would like a rather large FAT32 for exchanging
files between Linux and Windows.
How large can a FAT32 partition be? Is 5 GB possible?

Someone else posted to a link saying 8TB, but under MS, the max. the
format tool will try is 32GB.
Since your running linux, that just means you need to format it under
Linux, then Windows will see it fine.
I have personally done a 500GB Fat32 partition this way and had only
one problem.
At some point the Fat32 chkdsk function from Linux falls apart. I
don't remember how I resolved it. I may have been forced to chkdsk it
from windows.
