Hello everyone on the list,
I have a question for you: is there any good (free) tool to defragment
files on FAT32 partitions in Linux? I am puzzled I can't find any with a
simple search.
TIA

I really doubt it. The only reason to use a
more info on my fat32 problem...
here is the lines out of my fstab file
i changed the ro to rw and i can now write to these disks but I am nervous of
stuffing up the integrety.
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c ntfs iocharset=iso8859-15,ro,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d msdos

have i done something wrong as i can´t write to the ft32 partitions?
You need to add some RW parameter to the lines in

the partition type for fat32 is vfat not msdos.

ok aside from the NIC problems, which i will get to later when I have time
to fuck with it, (I' so swamped at the moment with work its not funny)...
In ALL other linuxes as far as I know, FAT32 partitions (if mounted) are
seen automatically from that point forward.
SO WTH IS GOING ON!?

unless you want to access your file from winows and from your post, you
don't, there is really no point in storing your files on fat32. As far
as the disk usage goes, on a 8 GB partition, the smallest block on a fat
32 partition was 8 kb i think. so a 10 kb file would use up 16 kb on you
Sorry if this question was already answered, I couldn't find it.
I have two partitions on the same disk, one fat32, one reiserFS, oth
with plenty of space. Since I spend all of my time in Linux, I keep the
Fat32 partition for storage.
I frequently access a large number of small files

What's a good linux defrag program for FAT32 partitions?

To mount a FAT32 drive, enter the following at a command prompt (usually
need to be root):
mount /dev/hda1 -t vfat /mnt/WinC
In this statement, the hda1 may be replaced by whichever partition you wish
to mount, and you have to have a directory created in the /mnt subdirectory
called (in this
