I’m not too sure what the size limits of FAT16 are, I haven’t used it in over 10 years. I just know it’s lacking in long filename support and that what is supported is shoddy at best.


 

FAT16 normally has no long filename support, but the same goes for FAT32. There is the “vFAT” extension, that enables both FAT16 and FAT32  to handle long filenames. Windows 95A had no FAT32 support, all later versions of Windows 95 could read/write FAT32, but could not create a FAT32 filesystem. Still, all Windows 95 versions could definately handle long filenames. Even the FAT12 formatted floppy disks could have long filenames.

Thanks for clarification. It should be clear now that VFAT is not a filesystem but an extension to FAT filesystems. I’d like to recommend the english or (even mode specific) german wikipedia articles for further readings.

To the OP: Did you check the filesystem of your card to veryfy it is ok? Have you tried different mount options?
