Actually, there is no consensus to split the article at this stage or in this way at all. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 19:10, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the records, the contents of *this* article is based on a copy & paste action from the corresponding technical section in the File Allocation Table article. I can assure you, we absolutely do not want to delete this highly valuable information, but as the contents here is a 100% duplication of the contents found in the main article, nothing gets lost if *this* split-off article gets deleted.
We might need to split the original article into several subarticles at some stage, but so far there was no discussion nor consensus how exactly to do it. And given the fact, that there are uncountable internal and external #hashed links into the article and its subsection, this is non-trivial and needs to be very carefully planned and carried out in a non-destructive manner, not in an "over-night" ad-hoc split action. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 13:43, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
