Hi!

In Kernels 2.1.8x there are problems with the fat filesystem when
using 2048 bytes hardblocksize (MO-Drive). It seems that
fat uses generic_file_read, but does not implement readpage -
whoops! Testing for i_ops->readpage in generic_file_read (which
is not done currently) catches the oops, but I rather want
fat to work on my MO drive.
BTW writing works.

Richard.
