I think the max file size on a fat fs is 4gb without performing some tricks. I forget what the max partiton size is but it is less than 60gb because I have a 60gb drive and xp installer wouldn't let me allocate the whole drive for one fat32 partition. |
Hmm, maybe that was specific to the edition of XP you were using. Even so, the last off the shelf PC I bought came with a 80Gig FAT32 partition and that was XP Home. So it's certainly possible to use 60Gb+ FAT32 partitions. |

So, I think your best bet is to go with FAT32. Anyone know a way to create one that's >32GB??

Come on, LINUX!!!
mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/hda10
|
I could swear I checked if that command exists before posting that note

Ok .. I now know what's seriously wrong with me  ! I didn't emerge sys-fs/dosfstools. That's why I didn't have mkfs.vfat !!  |
