Is this patch is about this thread? http://marc.info/?t=107513944200003&r=1&w=2 The read would be compatible, but write is not compatible with FAT spec. So, I think read side may be applied, but write part can't be applied. Regarding compatibility: the patch seems to be compatible with the EPOC implementation of FAT, both read and write - and as the patch does not overwrite the default implementation but only adds an option... Well, I'm not a real Linux wiz, but it seems to me it should be applicable. On the other hand, the default linux FAT writing works just fine, it's just the reading part that doesn't work - so, like, whatever you think is best, man. Can you read that thread? It already explains why the patch was not merged. If someone submit the read side fix patch, it would be acceptable. |
