Special Forums Hardware Filesystems, Disks and Memory Loopback files on a FAT based Filesystem? Post 302104564 by Corona688 on Thursday 25th of January 2007 05:24:45 PM

The maximum file size of a FAT file system is 4GB, and if someone uses a signed type, it halves again to 2GB. I'm not surprised you're hitting limits.

That, and FAT filesystems aren't a good match to UNIX file access in the first place; wonky access permissions, multiple kinds of file names and wonky restrictions on file names, the division between "name" and "extension", these strange "hidden" flags, and so forth. You usually can't execute files from a FAT filesystem under UNIX, since FAT has no executable bit. It just disallows it, even when the permissions look like rwx.
