It needs a different name to the user. If the new fs isn't vfat (which it
isn't) and doubly so if it can crash Windows XP at random on very rare
occasions then users need to know its different.
Imagine someone sticks a Linux written disk into a mission critical
windows server - I think they have a right to know and not accidentally
wander into a situation where they bring that box down ?
mount -o vfat should fail for this non-vfat.
