Everything Fat sucks. Period.

Fat16 sucks.
Fat32 sucks.
exFat sucks.
Everything Fat sucks.
I have a functional FAT drive labeled Fat32 with a 128 gig partition and lots of +4gig files.
While it brakes all "laws" it still works with every device (Nintendo 3DS, Phone(android), ...).
Fat is broken beyond repair and should not be used anymore.
Stop using Fat!
Edit:
Since I partly created this monstrosity, I actually know what's wrong with it.
I'll pay a million dollars in monopoly money (+you're smart credits) for the first person who can give a single/answer tool to manage this (hint: you can't).
Edit2: Seriously, you can't. All low level tools (think below dd) just can't.
