fat32_joliet_nls_patch-0.2.0.gz
  • Patch made against 2.0.29. It should work on kernels from 2.0.x to 2.0.29.
  • Note: This patch also includes Joliet CD support. I didn't feel like extracting the two from one another since I have added native language tables that are used by both fat and joliet code.
  • Updates the number of free clusters so scandisk should no longer complain.
  • Should work for reading and writing, but you should probably use it in write mode on less important partitions first. There are no known serious problems.
fat32_patch-0.1.0.gz
  • Patch made against 2.0.25. It should work on kernels from 1.3.xx to 2.0.27.
  • Fixes the two biggest known problems from the initial patch.
  • Does not update the number of free clusters, causing a minor error when running scandisk.
  • Should work for reading and writing, but you should probably use it in write mode on less important partitions first. There are no known serious problems.
