Wait, does that mean that a file which is larger than half of the partition in fat32 cannot be moved? Or not even be renamed?

Fat32 supports rename in the same directory as a simple operation. Moving a file though, I don't think so (and nobody corrected me, so I might be right).

Ok, well I just tried this on a full fat32 partition, I'm able to move a large file no problems reported, so I was wrong.
