Just a note. FAT32 can handle 4GB files, but the original vfat linux driver (because of a design error) could only handle 2GB. Also many linux and windows utilities were, at first, not designed to handle 4GB files, so it's usually not safe to have more than 2GB files on FAT32 (some disk utilities could even trash your drive). I don't know if the recent vfat drivers were fixed to handle more than 2 GB files, though. Maybe no one considered it important until recently (only now you have FAT32 USB disks with more than 4GB space free). Best regards, ~Nuno Lucas
