I am trying to mount a hard disk out of a VxWorks based embedded system
under linux.
The partitions on the disk apper to be FAT16, except that instead of
restricting the number of sectors per cluster to be a power of 2 (as assumed
by the linux fat module), they can be anything (eg 40 in the partition I am
trying to mount).
Is anyone aware of existing code that can mount these partitions, or should
I get hacking?

One other thing to look out for is that Wind River also has a "long
filename" FAT-like file system in which directory entries are longer,
and which allows for longer filenames and case-sensitivity.
(Gads, I hate working with VxWorks. Wish I'd know a couple of years ago
where Linux was going to be in a few months - I'd've never spec'ed my
project to run under VxWorks.)
But yes, I would love to see a VxFAT module that could read WRS's
wonderfully screwed up filesystems.
