Further information: mtoolsAlthough the filesystem drivers in the kernel make it possible to access files and directories on FAT formatted volumes in the normal manner, it is also possible to do so without kernel driver support, using the utility programs that form the mtools utility suite. Like the vfat FAT filesystem driver, mtools provides long filename support using the same disc data structures that Microsoft Windows uses.

Famous quotes containing the words fat, volumes, kernel and/or support:
“O why do you walk through the fields in gloves,
Missing so much and so much?
O fat white woman whom nobody loves,
Why do you walk through the fields in gloves,
When the grass is soft as the breast of doves
And shivering sweet to the touch?”
—Frances Cornford (18861960)
“Perhaps it is the lowest of the qualities of an orator, but it is, on so many occasions, of chief importance,a certain robust and radiant physical health; orshall I say?great volumes of animal heat.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“After nights thunder far away had rolled
The fiery day had a kernel sweet of cold”

“Every winter the liquid and trembling surface of the pond, which was so sensitive to every breath, and reflected every light and shadow, becomes solid to the depth of a foot or a foot and a half, so that it will support the heaviest teams, and perchance the snow covers it to an equal depth, and it is not to be distinguished from any level field. Like the marmots in the surrounding hills, it closes its eyelids and becomes dormant for three months or more.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
