I'm trying to understand which FAT based filesystems my Real Time 2.6 Linux supports. I have tried 3 things:
1. /proc/filesystems shows
vfat
among others non-relevant for the question (like ext2, etc)
2. /proc/config.gz shows:
# DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems
#
CONFIG_FAT_FS=y
CONFIG_MSDOS_FS=y
CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_CODEPAGE=437
CONFIG_FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET="ascii"
# CONFIG_NTFS_FS is not set
3. Commands like ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs
show nothing as .../fs folder doesn't exist.
So, looking at this, is safe to asume that FAT and VFAT are supported, but what about FAT32 or exFAT? It's not explicitly specified. How can I know?
