Hello Hirofumi
Win NT/XP/7 increased the maximum cluster size to 64KB, and file/vol
size increased 4GB also.
Although increasing , the file size of linux FAT is still limited at 2GB.
I found that it is limited by sb->s_maxbytes(0x7fffffff) when
partition is formatted by FAT16.
I think that sb->s_maxbytes in fill_super should be set to 0xffffffff
like Fat32.
I want to know your opinion.
Thanks.
