Just curious - it that any thing to do with why when I created a 4 GIB file from the copy + of four 1 GiB files why the very first byte of the 4 GiB file was changed to a 0x1A? (this was all created on a FAT32 SXMS H:\ (~ 28 GiB).

I inspected the 4 GIB file after I copied from FAT32 RAMdrive to USB stick - and inspected in windows (so I do not know "when" the 0x1A change for the first byte occurred).

I read somewhere that FAT32 files are a maximum of 4 GiB-1byte.
