I haven't had time to investigate this issue thouroughly, but it seems that something in the 2.2.0-pre1-acX kernels is breaking vfat support. Whenever I boot up/mount my vfat partitions under 2.2.0-pre1-ac2 or ac4 (I missed 1 and 3), I get a "bad FSInfo offset" (or something similar) error, but the partition still manages to mount. The only problem is that after being mounted, my vfat partitions automagically become 100% full. I am able to read from the partitions, but writing is impossible. Under win98 (yick), scandisk.log reports:
Drive Tessier (C:) contained the following errors:
The drive contained an error in its FSInfoSector. Resolution: Repair the error Results: Error was corrected as specified above.
ScanDisk found errors on this drive and fixed them all.
I have been running 2.1.X kernels without this problem and 2.2.0-pre1 did not seem to do this either. Once I started using Alan's pre1-acX patches, this happens without fail. Is anybody else experiencing a similar problem?
