Thanks for the comeback, will give it (fstab change) a shot.
I use about 650MB of MP3 files on one of my FAT32 partitions, both under Linux (X11amp) and Windoze (Winamp). No problems with the MP3's, even with several apps running (though Windoze tends to crash more often under these conditions, unrelated to Winamp). I'm on an AMD K6-2/400 with 128MB RAM. For what it's worth.
I've had no problems reading and writing FAT32 partitions since 2.0.36, and I'm now running 2.2.3. However, one headache seems to be permissions - I seem to have read/write permissions on these drives only as root, and adding my other users to the "disk" group doesn't solve the problem. Awaiting a solution to this one.
I don't know what all the fuss is about. The 2.2.1 kernel compiled and runs without a hitch on my RH 5.2 system (AMD-K6-2/400, 128M). Everything appears to be working fine. I had a few compatibility problems with 2.0.36 that I haven't had so far under 2.2.1.
