[[Image(wiki:WikiStart:FAT32-Artie-Cubes-1-0-s.png, 200px )]] = Welcome to FAT32.IFS on Netlabs = [[PageOutline]] This is the development home for universal FAT driver (FAT12/FAT16/FAT32/exFAT) for OS/2 and OS/2 based systems. This project is based on the FAT32 project by Henk Kelder who released the source code as open source in January 2002. == Features == This version includes: 1) FORMAT routine, based on Fat32format (a win32 program) 2) CHKDSK, with autocheck on init support. 3) SYS routine, installing FreeLDR bootblock (no minifsd yet). 4) Some new features, like - 64 KB clusters support - support for files up to 4 GB - support for VFAT on FAT12/FAT16 (for that, you should specify /fat key for fat32.ifs). - exFAT support ("/exfat" switch is required).) - Support for [http://www.fdos.org/kernel/fatplus.txt FAT+] (a /plus switch is required). - Supported different media, like floppies (physical and virtual), CD's, flash sticks and hard disks with FAT12/FAT16/FAT32/exFAT filesystems. For all these media types, FORMAT/CHKDSK/SYS should work. - Support for mounting FAT12/16/32/ex filesystem images on a FAT12/16/32/ex disk subdirectory. Raw/bochs/cloop/dmg/vpc/vmdk/parallels/vvfat/qcow/qcow2/vdi formats are supported. (qemu code was used for support of VM images). For partitioned images, a partition number could be specified. Support for CHKDSK/FORMAT/SYSINSTX on a mounted image (this feature is alpha-quality, yet). == Download == ||'''Component'''||'''Package'''||'''Version'''||'''Description'''|| ||FAT32 Beta||[ftp://osfree.org/upload/fat32/fat32-0.10-r336-os2.zip ZIP]||0.10 r336|| Stable beta version, ZIP format || ||FAT32 Beta||[ftp://osfree.org/upload/fat32/fat32-0.10-r336-os2.wpi WPI]||0.10 r336|| Stable beta version, WPI installer || ||FAT32 Beta, win32 binaries||[ftp://osfree.org/upload/fat32/fat32-0.10-r336-win32.zip ZIP]||0.10 r336|| Win32 binaries for FS utilities || ||FAT32 Stable||[ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/fat32/fat32_0913.zip ZIP]||0.9.13||Latest stable release ZIP File|| ||FAT32 Stable||[ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/fat32/fat32_0913.wpi WPI]||0.9.13||Latest stable release WPI File|| ||FAT32 older Relases||[ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/fat32/ WPI-ZIP]|| -- ||Older FAT32 releases || == Getting the sources == In addition to [../browser browsing] the sources here, you can check out the sources with your favorite subversion client. Keep in mind that, unlike [http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/ cvs], tags and branches are ordinary directories in subversion. With the typical subversion repository layout, it is rather easy to checkout more than you probably intend to. To pull just the trunk version, use something like {{{ mkdir FAT32_workspace cd FAT32_workspace svn checkout http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/fat32/trunk trunk }}} To update your workspace with the current repository content, use {{{ cd FAT32_workspace\trunk svn update }}} If you want commit access to the repository, contact Adrian. == Building == * [wiki:BuildingFAT32 Building FAT32][[BR]] * [wiki:BuildingFAT32-0.10 Building FAT32, verison 0.10][[BR]] == Support == Reporting bugs and requesting new features is done through the [http://trac.netlabs.org/fat32/report ticket system]. You can view existing tickets, add comments to them and create new tickets using the corresponding buttons at the top of every page. If you want to submit a new bug or request a feature, please use the Search function first to make sure there is no ticket for this task already created.[[BR]] We review the tickets regularly and leave comments if we need more info. So please revisit the [http://svn.netlabs.org/fat32/report/10 Feedback analysis] as often as possible. If we leave comment and don't get feedback from the ticket creator, we will close the ticket after some weeks. [[BR]][[BR]] Anonymous access to the ticket system has been restricted due to multiple attacks of stupid spammers we've been suffering from lately. In order to create a new ticket or comment the existing one, you need to login with your Netlabs login id.
