Hi
Is there any limitation on size of vfat partition that can be mounted in
linux?
I'm formatting a CF as vfat. Its an 8G CF. I partitioned it with fdisk
with following options:
1. delete all paritions
2. create new partition
3. primary
4. partition number 1
5. chose default begin cylinder
6. chose default end cylinder
8. change type of partition
9. 'c' for WIN95 FAT32
10. 'w'rite partition table
now i format it as
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/hdc1
when i mount it as
mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt/cf
I see it only as 1024K blocks in 'df'.
Can someone help? Is there a 1G limitation on vfat partition?
thanks
FAT32 cat support up to 2 Terabytes depending on sector size. Try using a
-S 4096 to give you a 4K sector size.
