You can mount fat with the &quot;vfat&quot; filesystem. Your kernel should/must support this, if not, recompile the kernel.<br />
But that´s probably not enough for running the swap-space on it ! Sorry ...<br />

rbr -- &quot;This is impossible since this FAT partition will be the last partition on your HD and this is not allowed. FAT partition can not be after a ext2 partition.&quot;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
*** -- It is not allowed from Linux? Is this a rule... or the Linux will not run because of that... what about NT is going to say?<br />

As far as I know linux has no problem with it but NT can not access this partition.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Currently I have the following: a) 3.89 Gb of NTFS Partition with NT Server(primary partition) b) 2.24Gb of ext2 Linux partion c) 39Mb of Swap file for Linux.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
How can I make the swap space as follows: 32Mb of swap linux + 7Mb of FAT for later use between NT Server and Linux.<br />
<br />
If possible HOW? And if YES is any side effect on other partitions. I load Linux from NT BootLoader. How the FAT can be accessed via Linux?<br />
<br />
Thank you for your help.<br />

Adding a FAT partition to the swap file ....

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
