Hi all, I've been running WINE on my Linux-Mandrake 7.2 box. I have a FAT32 windows 98 partition that I've directed WINE to use in wine.conf. I've been noticing that after running programs under wine, some of the directories on the windows partition will have been renamed to names like "$!$!$!$!.dsk" or "$!$!$! $!.prg". Needless to say, this interferes with

Hello I'm using mandrake 9.2 with wine. After many hour of playing around... I was able to get lotus notes to work. But when I start notes... it doesn't login to my user or ask me for my password. This is what I get in the shell fixme:console:SetConsoleCtrlHandler ((nil),0) - no error checking or testing yet fixme:console:SetConsoleCtrlHandler (0x601a93c0,1) - no error checking or

I think I implied that the Large FAT32 fat size had an extra sector compared to minfatsize, when of course I meant the opposite (the Large FAT32 has one less sector than the minfatsize computed by the unpatched code, hence the check

Sorry for the late response. I am set to digest on this list. One of my chief complaints about mailman (besides non-searchable archives), is that you can either get every message or digest, but not "digest except for threads to which I have responded for which I want every message directly". > The command line installers have the core module and the bootloader file, all embedded

Hi, I am running rsync on MacOS 10.3 and I want to transfer files to a linux machine, which has linux partitions and fat32 partitions. Transfering the files to the linux partition works without problems, but if I transfer them to the fat32 partition, files are ignored if all characters in the file name are UPPER CASE. - The files which rsync should transfer do not exist in the target directory.

Hi @all! I tested what happens with a file which is saved at a FAT32 partition and then this partition is converted to NTFS. So first I transfered the file with rsync from the FAT32 partition to my Linux /home folder. Then I converted the FAT32 partition to NTFS. After the convertation I transfered the file again to see what has changed (amount of data). I was surprised!!!! Nothing has changed!!!

Hello everyone, It''s a particularly slow Friday afternoon here, so time to try stuff out... I''ve just installed Instant Rails on a USB key, thinking it would be a great way of showing off Rails in general, giving a progress update to customers, trying out ideas, and generally all the other benefits that come from having a completely portable environment. However, the 168Mb of

I have a question regarding moving Wine's C:/ drive to another file system. My hard drive is currently partitioned into 3 primaries. I have a NTFS partition that Windows is on, a Ext4 with Ubuntu, and a third, larger, FAT32 partition that I use to hold cross-OS data (music, pictures, documents ect). I have had infinite difficulty getting wine to run apps that I installed (through wine) to my

I know syslinux supports FAT16 and works very well, but how about FAT32? Does syslinux support FAT32? If so, which version? eg., 3.11 and above Thanks!

My problem is that whenever I try to copy a large file from a client machine to a fat32 partition (ext3 works fine) mounted under samba, the host linux machine will lock up completely. I can, however, copy small files to the fat32 partition just fine (ie. 1 KB to 1 MB size file), it's only when I copy files that are about 200 MB and larger, that the computer will lockup. NAT still

Everything described in GarbageCollection.html should now be live. Phew! The collectors could use a review, but they compile, have no impact unless used, and tests would otherwise have had to be XFAILed waiting on them. The ShadowStackCollector has one issue that may be of interest in that it adds constant globals in a runOnFunction context. This is bad in theory, but actually is

Hi, I have a custom linux system that runs off a FAT32 usb flash disk. I use syslinux to make it bootable and load the kernel. I'm trying to boot now from a SSD SATA disk (500GB) but it's not working and I can't figure out why. BIOS show that no bootable disk were found. What I already tried (linux fdisk): 1- Creating a new DOS partition table on the SSD, a FAT32 (type b), and

When trying to installing Syslinux on a FAT32 drive formatted using Ridgecrop's Large FAT32 formatting tool [1], the installer will bail due to the minfatsize check, as there is an extra sector being used. This fix addresses that. [1] http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm -------------- next part --------------

Hi, I have been using rsync for over ten years. Thank you! It is a great tool. Recently I had the misfortune to have to use it to sync files to a USB stick that is for a platform that only supports FAT32. After missing the point a few times and having it copy some of the same directories and files needlessly I saw the timestamps on the source files (in reasonable filesystems like JFS, XFS,

Hi, I am not an engineer or linux expert but I have been using syslinux to boot live disk filesets (extracted from iso's) residing on fat32 and NTFS volumes. In FAT32 there has been no problem going with larger cluster sizes up to the nominal maximum of 64K however, with NTFS it has not been possible to exceed the cluster size of 4096. With NTFS formatted using clusters of 8192 or larger,

Hi... I decided to delete my fat32 partition (sda1, with win2k on it). I did that with fdisk and added a linux partition, then formated it with "mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda1" ... Everything seemed to work fine... I can even mount it with "mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt" ... but there seem to be some fat32 rubbish left because when I do "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" it seems to

> You might want to read Wikipedia's articles about "FAT32" and "Design of the FAT file system", Good pointer. I spent far far too long on that page figuring out how fat32 is designed. But the reserved sectors, there is the key. > reserved sectors Right! Immediately after the FSIS before the FAT.And it usually is 32 sectors for fat32. Take off the VBR and the FSIS,

Hi, I have a problem backing up my music collection, that is stored on a fat32 formated hard drive to my ext3 formated backup drive (ext3 to ext3 works like a charm :) ). The problem is, that rsync always transfers all of the files and not only the one that were changed/added. I know of the limitations fat32 has but I can't find the correct options to run the backup. Thanks Thomas

I just reformatted an 8Gb USB drive as ext3. While as FAT32, it was reported as having well over 7Gb free (did not note the exact capacity). I reformatted with mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 Now it is reported (oh, this is with properties in Nautilus) as having 6.8Gb capacity (free space actually). Does this makes sense that ext3 has less available space than fat32?
