We had a user report at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449080
that in 2.6.25, he can no longer rsync to a vfat partition, even as root.
I just reproduced this here. It gets -EPERM in the mkstemp call.
(full strace in the bug report).

Did we change behaviour somehow in the vfat code?
2.6.24.7 works fine apparently.
