Hm, this looks like check the volume size. But if there is newer fat format on same volume size, how to detect it? Or, it is conflicting?
[BTW, we should avoid to mount if it doesn't seem fatfs, to prevent mis-mount as fatfs (auto mount is depending on this detection).]
Thanks. -- OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp>
