Description: Kernel patch to support EPOC FATs (like used on Psion PDAs) |
| 14 |
In the FAT standard the end of the directory file index is marked by 00. |
| 15 |
All entries after it should be ignored. The current FAT implementation |
| 16 |
ignores such marked entries, but continues scanning the directory. This |
| 17 |
is good enough for most FAT implementations, because they also mark all |
| 18 |
remaining entries after the last with a 00 byte. |
| 19 |
. |
| 20 |
The filesystem implementation of EPOC 5 (and probably of newer versions |
| 21 |
of EPOC) does not clear old entries after the end of the directory file |
| 22 |
index. This means that without this patch, Linux will show old previously |
| 23 |
deleted or even never assigned entries. |
| 24 |
. |
| 25 |
This package contains patches for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. The 2.4 patch has |
| 26 |
some known issues; the 2.6 kernel patches should always be safe. |
