Sometimes it would quit half way through only moving half the files. This was an hour after I did a fresh reformat/install of RH9. I used Windows 2000 to create a 32MB FAT32 partition, the maximum size allowed.

In your fstab file turnoff the file system check, labeled ,in Debian,
'pass' i.e. The swap entry is '0' '0'. I haven't had any issues using a
vfat partition on my laptop which is a shared data partition.
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/sda5 / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1
#/dev/sda1 none swap sw,pri=2 0 0
