Ummm, well I'm already using FAT32 support (read/write) and NTFS support (read only) in kernels since the early 2.0.x days, currently I'm on 2.1.35 and about to build a 2.1.36 now.
NTFS has a couple of foibles but seem pretty stable I applied it as is from the author.
FAT32 was based on the 2.0.x kernel patches which I modified to work with 2.1.x structures and it has been rock solid ever since.
I've forgotten the original authors but will dig and report further in both cases.
