Hi list,
I noticed f13-beta can't mount 4G USB memory stick (fat)
Any plan to fix it?
Need more information.
1) Did this work before?
2) FAT16 is limited to 2GB for the most part.. FAT32 is required for
4GB. Although it looks like it was formatted with the 64K cluster
fat16 which I have no idea who supports.
3) Is it only this stick or others? [I have a 4GB stick here that
seems to work great but it is formatted as W95 FAT32 (LBA)
Thanks,
Luming
