Problem mounting FAT32 hard drive

[listas at lozano.eti.br]

Hi, 

I use vfat on RHL8/9 and FC1 to mount partitions with more than 2Gb (tried 6, 8
and 22Gb) from Win95, 98 and ME. No problems readgin and writing, but neither
can create then (have to create/format using windoze). Scandisk has no complains.
