I think it could indeed be very wise not to insert FAT removable media into 'high reliability' WindowsXP machines, but not because of the patch I've proposed. A prudent IT manager might take a look at how many fastfat.sys crashes are being reported on WindowsXP and realise that viewing ones holiday photos on your heart bypass machine isn't a great idea :-) Cheers, Tridge -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
