Dear Kernel Developers,
Is it possible to incorporate the next patch which I had to introduce to
have the vfat fs of my ipod to get mounted under Linux.
Originally its vfat was mounting ok, but then at some point which I
didn't clearly mentioned, it stopped... probably it happened after I
attached ipod to some windows box, because now windows still can easily
mount it whenever vanilla linux kernel refuses...
Or should I just adjust my ipod's fs definition?
Thank you in advance

I'm sorry guys - it seems that the necessary steps were taken in the
last kernel version:
/*
* The low byte of FAT's first entry must have same value with
* media-field. But in real world, too many devices is
* writing wrong value. So, removed that validity check.
*
* if (FAT_FIRST_ENT(sb, media) != first)
*/
So I will give it a spin :-)
Sorry once again
