It would be better if the printk were written:
printk (KERN_INFO "UMSDOS: Can't create empty " UMSDOS_EMD_FILE "\n");
On a related topic, is it possible to have an msdos directory under a
msdos directory? I've tried creating the directory under umsdos and
removing the --linux-.--- file under MSDOS. When you do this, '..' is
missing from the subdirectory causing getcwd to fail. '..' appears to
be present under MSDOS, but I wouldn't trust it to tell me the truth.
