I do use a FAT32 external USB-HDD on which I store VDR-recordings with the 
VFAT-option enabled. That way I can take VDR-recordings on that HDD to 
friends' Windows boxes and watch it there with VLC for example. So I'd like 
to keep it. Or is there a way to avoid that problem by, for example, taking 
different mount options on FAT32-file system?
