13 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.
