I'm in a situation where I have to force rename a file in fat32 FS to have a newline and pipe sign within it, unfortunately it can't be done cause the current Fat32 drivers forbid doing it. I know these are invalid characters on Windows -- but that doesn't matter here.

So, any ways to do so?

I guess that if you mount the system as vfat and option nonumtail it should work.

It didn't do it.
