Mongod 7 config file not found on different Windows drive

Ops and Admin Installation & Upgrades

I’m trying to upgrade from version 6.0.13 to 7.0.19 (community edition on my local machine for testing). When I run:
mongod --config “F:\Data\MongoDB\mongo with logging.config”
I get:
Error opening config file ‘F:\Data\MongoDB\mongo with logging.config’: No such file or directory
But the file clearly exists (AND this worked fine with version 6):

If I put the config file on the C: drive (where mongo is installed), I get a message that my database files cannot be found (which are on my F: drive). What would prevent mongod 7 from being able to access my F: drive? (Again, all this worked with mongod 6.)

I solved the issue by moving my config and data files to my C: drive. My F: drive uses the FAT32 file system, which it appears is not supported by Mongo 7. (My C: drive uses the NTFS file system.)
