Hello.
I am using qemu-5.2.0 in Windows with operating system Minix 3.1.2a and
vfat fail to write files of size over 4096 bytes. The read works well.
This is not ploblem of Minix 3.1.2a because in Bochs emulator reads an
writes of files of any size works well.
I also consider this to be a major bug as it prevents communication of
information between the guest OS and the host. I have over 300 students
complaining about this bug present in qemu.
Thanks.

Hi Pedro,
Sorry to hear of your difficulty, but given the age of this bug report,
I'd strongly urge you to file a new bug report. Since this was last
looked at over 10 years ago, it's extremely likely your issue is
completely unrelated to the originally reported one.
Here are a couple pages on how to write effective bug reports, that I'd
encourage reading to ensure your report is actionable and can
(hopefully) get resolved expediently:
* https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
* https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/reporting-bugs
A few other tips specific to qemu (per the upstream bug tracker):
* Include the QEMU release version or the git commit hash into the description, so that it is later still clear in which version you have found the bug. Reports against the latest release or even the latest development tree are usually acted upon faster.
* Include the full command line used to launch the QEMU guest.
* Reproduce the problem directly with a QEMU command-line. Avoid frontends and management stacks, to ensure that the bug is in QEMU itself and not in a frontend.
* Include information about the host and guest (operating system, version, 32/64-bit).

Pedro,
please also note that vvfat driver is general in a bad state and more or less completely unmaintaind. I can only strongly recommend to *not* use it in production. If you have to share files between guest and host, please use something more modern like virtio-fs (or maybe virtio-9p) instead.

If you need OS portability then the "usb-mtp" device is also an option
for adhoc file sharing.
