FAT Filesystem and Linux - Accessing FAT Formatted Volumes Without Kernel Support

Accessing FAT Formatted Volumes Without Kernel Support

Further information: mtools

Although 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.
