Question

Does linux support FAT 32 file systems?

Answer

The alternative IBM PC operating systems — such as Linux, FreeBSD, and BeOS — have all supported FAT, and most added support for VFAT and FAT32 shortly after the corresponding Windows versions were released. Early Linux distributions also supported a format known as UMSDOS, which was FAT with Unix file attributes (such as long file name and access permissions) stored in a separate file called --linux-.---. UMSDOS fell into disuse after VFAT was released and is not enabled by default in Linux kernels from version 2.5.7 onwards . The Mac OS X operating system also supports the FAT filesystems on volumes other than the boot disk.
