Hello list,
Is there an "official" way of to move FAT entries
around in the vfat code of the kernel ? I'd like
to change ordering of vfat entries.
Thanks in advance
Sebastian

Why don't you do that off-line, in a userland program? Should be easier
(and safer).

Thanks for the reply,
I have to admit I do not even have a clue how to get access to
the directory table of a mounted vfat device. The whole idea
is for manipulating the ordering of mp3-players which
(on some devices) seems to dictate the play order.
So if someone could point me to a good documentation
I would appreciate it.
Regards
Sebastian

Accessing a mounted VFAT for this is probably not a good idea.
However, a userland solution should be possible and much easier than
trying this from the kernel.
Look at the mtools package:
http://www.gnu.org/software/mtools/mtools.html
where you should find tools that do such access already. Then, start
hacking the mdir(1) tool, or some such, to sort the VFAT orders
however you like them.
Cheers
thanks...
