if anybody is using fat to do interesting things, I found this page

http://ultra-embedded.com/?fat_filelib

It has portable code to use FAT filesystems.
I tested this some months ago with a dd extracted FAT filesystems of 100MB and it works flawlessly. It may works even for kernel modules.

If memory serves I consigned my last FAT filesystem to the bit bucket sometime around 1998... :twisted:

You don't have a camera ? that's what they all use for a file system. All the ones I've touched, anyhow.

FAT32 on Irix would be hot. Then we could go bigger than 2 gig on memory cards ... the firewire card reader on Irix is faster and more convenient than a USB reader in Windows, I keep getting "Can you transfer my photos off the SD card for me please ?" requests :P

That's hard to figure, isn't it? You would think all the cameras and music devices would use ext2 since it was open, but they used FAT!
I want a camera with ext3 so I can say I have a camera that uses a journaling filesystem :lol:
Those fscking cameras! :twisted:
