Editing File Allocation Table (section)

=== <span id="FAT16+"></span><span id="FAT32+"></span><span id="FAT32B"></span>FAT+ ===
In 2007 the open '''FAT+''' draft proposed how to store [[Large file support|larger files]] up to 256&nbsp;GB minus 1&nbsp;byte, or 274,877,906,943 (2<sup>38</sup>&nbsp;−&nbsp;1) bytes, on slightly modified and otherwise backward-compatible FAT32 volumes,<ref name="DRDOS_FAT+_R2" /> but imposes a risk that disk tools or FAT32 implementations not aware of this extension may truncate or delete files exceeding the normal FAT32 file size limit. Support for '''FAT32+''' and '''FAT16+''' is limited to some versions of [[DR-DOS]] and not available in mainstream operating systems.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.drdosprojects.de/ |title=DR-DOS/OpenDOS Enhancement Project |first=Udo |last=Kuhnt |date=July 21, 2011 |access-date=2015-04-20 |archive-date=2016-07-06  |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160706205139/http://www.drdosprojects.de/ |url-status=live }}</ref> (This extension is critically incompatible with the <code>/EAS</code> option of the FAT32.IFS method to store [[FAT extended file attributes|OS/2 extended attributes]] on FAT32 volumes.)
