Kind of following up on the same sort of thing.... I had a problem
copying to a 512MB USB stick formatted vfat.  I could easily copy files
over but could only get about 150MB out of the 512MB.  Reformatting the
stick did nothing.  It was then I dredge some old DOS memories up...

I was copying to the root directory and with DOS you can only hold a
certain number of files in the root.  As soon as I starting copying to a
subdirectory I could fill the stick up.

Probably well known to everyone here but it took me a couple of days to
figure out what was going.
