If it's as Kay says a specific magic part of the directory and we need
this just as a fixup for FAT and NTFS then probably an ioctl on it will
do the job nicely. Sometimes stretching existing API's in semi-sane ways
actually gets to produce worse special cases (like tar restoring the
volume label by accident depending upon its settings)
