Yes, I know. But code which I referred check both number of fat tables
and number of allocation bitmaps (as they are represented by one member
in boot sector structure).

Is this information based on some real tests? Or just from marketing or
Microsoft's information? (I would really like to know definite answer in
this area).

Because Microsoft says one thing in their FAT32 specification, second
thing described in their FAT implementation and thing thing is how it is
really implemented (in fatfast.sys kernel driver which is open source).

So I would be really careful about how MS's exfat.sys implementation is
working.
