Hi Aitor! > FreeDOS *KERNEL* supports FAT32 completely, but the support of FAT32 > amongst the utilities is uneven...
Missing support in UTILS: FIPS - no LBA LFNDOS / DOSLFN - do not know RAREAD More important - missing support in BASE: ASSIGN - not for FAT32 drives CHKDSK - only DOSFSCK can check FAT32 (use 2.8-fat32 or 2.10) FreeCOM - DIR does not display file / drive / ... sizes > 2 GB DEBUG - now supports FAT32 but can only serve as sector editor for the first 32 MB of a partition regardless of partition type. DEFRAG - no FAT32 support DISKCOMP - meant for floppy only DISKCOPY - same FORMAT - possible compatibility problems with Windows KERNEL - ren in FAT32 root dir fails in 2034 (okay in 2033) LABEL - should work? MIRROR - only supports FAT16 at all, and FORMAT /Z:mirror has a bug for FAT32 RECOVER - see CHKDSK SHARE - not sure about possible FAT32 problems [Download URL according to FreeDOS software list is broken, Bart!] [I would like SHARE to use less RAM, is that possible?] SWSUBST / SUBST / JOIN - not for FAT32 as far as I remember? UNDELETE - no FAT32 yet. Patric might do that. UNFORMAT - no FAT32 support VOL - unknown (why are VOL and LABEL files? Why not in FreeCOM?) All tools do not support file sizes > 2 GB (FAT32 itself supports up to 4 GB). For which tools should such support be added? SYS, by the way, hardcodes BIOS drive number to 0x80 for FAT32 boot. Bad.
