	Linux VFAT Filesystem
		The VFAT filesystem is a Linux filesystem that is compatible with Windows 95 and Windows NT long filenames on the FAT filesystem.
		The vfat filesystem used to be named xmsdos, but it was renamed to vfat.
		Fixes a problem in the msdos and vfat filesystems where moving an open file causes all subsequent writes to that file to be lost.

	What is VFAT? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		Short for Virtual File Allocation Table, a virtual installable files system driver used in Windows for Workgroups and Windows 95.
		VFAT operates in protected mode and serves as an interface between applications and the File Allocation Table (FAT).
		Contains brief technical descriptions of the FAT file system, VFAT, HPFS, and NTFS.

	Virtual FAT (VFAT)
		Support was added for long file names and also for better control over such matters as disk locking, so utilities could access the disk in "exclusive mode" without fear of other programs using it in the meantime.
		Despite the new name and new capabilities, VFAT as a file system is basically the same as FAT is. Most of the new capabilities relate to how the file system is used, and not the actual structures on the disk.
		Even here, VFAT supports these using what is basically a hack, as opposed to anything really revolutionary.

	Definition of VFAT
		Stands for "Virtual File Allocation Table." Older Windows operating systems (Windows ME and earlier) used a file system called "FAT" or "FAT32." The file system is what the operating system uses to organize and access files on the hard drive.
		VFAT, introduced with Windows 95, was an improvement to the basic FAT file system, allowing more information to be stored for each file.
		Personally, I use the term VFAT to refer to the size of my cat.

		USING VFAT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To use the vfat filesystem, use the filesystem type 'vfat'.
		The escape character is ':' because it is otherwise illegal on the vfat filesystem.
		TEST SUITE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you plan to make any modifications to the vfat filesystem, please get the test suite that comes with the vfat distribution at http://bmrc.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/vfat.html This tests quite a few parts of the vfat filesystem and additional tests for new features or untested features would be appreciated.

	More on the VFAT rewrite - Amarok Blog
		Unfortunately, this plugin is not solely limited to USB drives, as my testing with it is being done on a VFAT partition on my hard drive.
		If the filesystem is not actually vfat, some renaming checks are skipped (since the plugin is a generic one that can work with pretty much any mounted filesystem...in fact, it's been renamed to "Generic Audio Player").
		What the plugin does (in fact, what all of the device plugins do, which currently are vfat/generic, ifp, and ipod) is provide an implementation of various functions for the respective devices.

	Windows NT: Choosing Between File Systems
		VFAT is an extension of the FAT file system and was introduced with Windows 95.
		VFAT maintains backward compatibility with FAT but relaxes the rules.
		Although VFAT preserves the case of filenames, it's not considered case sensitive.

	The vfat file system and Linux - OSNews.com
		While one of these discs held an ext3 partition and served as my primary data storage, the other one, holding a vfat partition, was used as backup drive and as the connection to the "Windows-world".
		The characteristics of the vfat file system that are discussed in this section are of course not limited to the work with rsync.
		To be able to use rsync between an ext3 and a vfat partition, there are some requirements to fulfill, and some of those are quite subtle.

	VFAT-OS2
		VFAT-OS2 is a package that will allow OS/2 to seamlessly access Windows 95 VFAT formatted partitions from OS/2 as if they were standard OS/2 drive letters.
		The ultimate aim of this package is to be able to use the VFAT file system as a replacement of FAT.
		VFAT-OS2 is based upon the Linux VFAT 2.0.33 and the EXT2_240 package from M.

	IT Deployment: FAT v. NTFS
		VFAT, which is an extension of the FAT file system, was introduced with Windows 95.
		Although VFAT preserves the case of filenames, it isn't considered case sensitive.
		When you create a long filename with VFAT, it uses one directory entry for the DOS alias and another entry for each 13 characters of the long filename.

	Operating Systems - Filesystems - VFAT
		The VFAT system is an extension of the existing FAT file system designed to support both old DOS / WIN16 / OS/2 / Linux applications which only supports 8.3 (both OS/2 and Linux supports LFN, just not on FATFS).
		VFAT achieves this new advantage by introducing a new variation of the ordinary Directory Entry (see FAT explanation).
		Unused in VFAT but protected to support OS/2 and avoid corruption when used with OS/2.

		For this consideration, the VFAT was paid $200 per year.
		As a matter of fact, when one of the payments were due, the VFAT found itself short, so the ladies put the cash up to keep the truck from being repossessed.
		The VFAT had an agreement in writing with the Tappan Fire District that the district would never enter into an agreement with any new fire company formed in Tappan, while the VFAT was a viable, active fire company.

	VFAT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		VFAT is simply a way to store more information in the FAT directory.
		The most important feature of VFAT is the ability to store long file names.
		Because VFAT uses the old FAT directory to add some unusual new entries, the VFAT additions can be damaged if the disk is manipulated by a DOS or OS/2 disk utility that does not understand the new structure.

	Dealing With FAT/VFAT Partitions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		This document describes how FAT and VFAT file system permissions work in Linux with a focus on configuring them for Wine.
		Mounted FAT or VFAT filesystems provide the primary means for which existing applications and their data are accessed through Wine for dual boot (Linux + Windows) systems.
		Although VFAT filesystems are preferable to FAT filesystems for their long filename support the term "FAT" will be used throughout the remainder of this document to refer to FAT filesystems and their derivatives.

	Notes on FAT/VFAT
		VFAT is a minor extention invented with Win 95 which supports long filenames.
		When you see how VFAT is implemented, you will see that it is just a minor "hack" onto FAT.
		Now, what is different with VFAT is the directory entry for the long filename.

		With kc it is not possible to see VFAT long file names you can only copy to VFAT long file names.
		According to the developer, the problem was that the number of sectors reported by OS/2 was less than the value stored in the boot record.

	Operating Systems and their File Systems
		One of VFAT's most important accomplishments was to enable the use of long file names in Windows 95, as well as all applications written for it, while maintaining compatibility with older software that had been written before VFAT was implemented.
		While all of these changes improved the manner in which the file system was used, nothing had been done to really improve the actual structures on the disk The only change that made any improvement at all to the structure was the addition of long file names.
		Aside from the difference in the way FAT 32 creates and numbers the clusters, it is, for the most part, the same as regular VFAT, with some of the same descriptions of the FAT file structures applying to FAT 32.

	Mounting vfat partitions and CDs using the Joliet extension
		To be able to see non-English file names on Microsoft vfat partitions or CDs using the Joliet extension correctly from Linux, you have to use suitable options when mounting the file system on Linux and a suitable terminal which can display the non-English characters.
		Long file names on vfat partitions or CDs using Microsoft's Joliet extension are stored in Unicode format.
		By the way, just like the VFAT file system, IBM's JFS (Journalling Files System) also uses UTF-16 internally and just like with VFAT you have to use a suitable iocharset mount option.

	What is Virtual File Allocation Table? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: VFAT
		A file allocation table is the means by which the operating system keeps track of where the pieces of a file are stored on a hard disk.
		Microsoft refers to this extension as a driver since other operating systems may need to install and use it in order to access FAT partitions written by Windows 95 and later Windows systems.
		The VFAT extension runs in protected mode, uses 32-bit code, and uses VCACHE for disk cache.
