From: Garrett Cooper To: Jin Guojun Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: bin/132237: msdosfs has problems to read MSDOS Floppy Date: Sun, 1 Mar 2009 16:52:29 -0800 The question is whether or not msdosfs properly supports FAT16 or not, because that's what disks were formatted with under MSDOS 4.0 - 6.22. What happened when you converted the disk via Win2k is that the machine converted the filesystem to FAT32, which is a completely different system from FAT16, and which is guaranteed to be supported with FreeBSD and msdosfs.
