I found that unless you included [ actually typed ] the file extension name ( eg "*.txt") then my system when within windows is not happy about it at all.
To check others concerns issue the following from your command client: $su Password #fdisk /dev/hda (assuming you are using only one harddrive) At the prompt type "p" (exclude quotes) The result should show you exactly what that partition is. At the prompt type "q" to quit and return to your command prompt #exit
You might already know all this but others reading this thread may need to know how to find out.
Enjoy

Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve.

I dual boot between Linux and W2k. I store the shared data on a FAT. Whenever I write to it from Linux it almost always comes up corrupted.
Is there some special setting I should have in my 'fstab' or something?
It is so bad that it is basically useless. I don't do anything special just open KWrite, enter some journal entries and exit.
Thanks...David
I use the same config. My entry: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,uid=500,umask=0 0 0
You should definitely check twice, is it really FAT32?
