SuSE Linux: Version 5.1
Kernel: Versions since 2.0.33
You have Windows95 and/or NT using FAT32 filesystem installed on your Linux machine.
You want to access these partitions from Linux.
Question: What happened to the Joliet-CD-Dateisystem?
You should mount these filesystems readyonly, even if the FAT32 driver supports read-write capabilities.
Due to security and stability reasons we did not include these drivers into our standard kernels.
So to use these drivers you will have to apply a kernel patch.
Information may be found on:
http://www-plateau.cs.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/fat32.html

Since »S.u.S.E. Linux« 5.1 these patches are included on the first CD in the
subdirectory /unsorted/patches
. The file itself is called
kernel-patches.tgz
. You may unpack this archive by entering:
installpkg .../unsorted/patches/kernel-patches.tgz
Now you can find the several patches under /usr/src/kernel-patches
.
The driver for the FAT32 filesystems even supports the Joliet-CD-Dateisystem.
Please be aware that we NEITHER support the patches NOR the kernel that you applied the patches to, NOR any problems that occur!
As far as we know there is no fips
for resizing FAT32
partitions. - Feedback welcome!
Furthermore you should keep in mind that the use of these patches might damage either your Windows95 /Win NT data, as well as your Linux data!
Usage of the supplied Windows95 VFAT drivers is ok, as it is based on the FAT16 filesystem.
