Dear friends:
I already sent a message to the VFAT maintainer, but I decided
to additionally bother this list with a warning. This way some
readers might avoid data loss.
This all may be moot. Microsoft is about to charge a royalty for
use of the FAT file system. http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/ip/tech/fat.asp
The claim some patents, but aren't FAT so old that they have
expired?
Patents for storing long names of files (which Microsoft is charging for)
are from 1995 or something.
