No. fat refers to the mentally low 8.3 character maximum filename length
commonly in use out of Redmond in the 80s and 90s. vfat has this length
extended. fat32 has a higher maximum filesystem size than fat.

Hi
Thanks Steve, Chris,David, Dave and Nick
Steve, this probably has been covered before but possibly before my
time. Good explanation though.
Well the problem has been solved and I can now read and write to the FAT
partition with both OS.
Last question: Would fat refer to fat16 and vfat to fat

You have mixed up my replys to 2 different posts. One for you and one
for Dave. This on
Thanks David, Volker, Dave
What is a *ix filesystem?
No its not a USB device, it's a FAT partition on the machine's hard
drive that needs rw access on Ubuntu and XP, hence FAT system. I'm just
getting read access all the time.
Dave suggested a line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda6 /mnt/hda6 ext3 auto,u

Hi
very interesting thread, wjich has got me thinking

once created
currently the fstab entry looks like this:

Correct! FAT + VFAT have no notion of *ix permissions, but to make it a
*ix filesystem, permissions have to be invented. The parameters in fstab
(or with the mount command) supply the permissions which a

Hi, Thanks for that Rick,
I have attached it as a text file.
Can you:
$cat /etc/fstab
