ipod vfat

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

Dear Kernel Developers,

Is it possible to incorporate the next patch which I had to introduce to
have the vfat fs of my ipod to get mounted under Linux.

Originally its vfat was mounting ok, but then at some point which I
didn't clearly mentioned, it stopped... probably it happened after I
attached ipod to some windows box, because now windows still can easily
mount it whenever vanilla linux kernel refuses...

Or should I just adjust my ipod's fs definition?

Thank you in advance
