I regularly read and write my FAT32 dos partition these days
without problem.

There were major problems in the past.  I badly trashed a FAT16
partition when writing to it after mounting from a FreeBSD boot
disk from a 2.2 Snapshot of 23 March 1996.

"If it is true that our Universe has a zero net value for all conserved
quantities, then it may simply be a fluctuation of the vacuum of some
larger space in which our Universe is imbedded. In answer to the
question of why it happened, I offer the modest proposal that our
Universe is simply one of those things which happen from time to time."
