rsync -aAXv to a FAT formatted directory?

[Kevin Korb]

A FAT filesystem can't handle -X or -goplD from -a.  When you are stuck
on FAT you are pretty much limited to -rt instead of -a.

Also, it doesn't handle timestamps very well.  FAT has a 2 second time
resolution and it has no concept of a locale so the timestamps all
change whenever your TZ changes your clock (assuming it does).

Unless you have FAT on both ends you probably don't want FAT at all.
