I'm not really sure if this exfat implementation is fully suitable for mainline linux kernel. In my opinion, proper way should be to implement exFAT support into existing fs/fat/ code instead of replacing whole vfat/msdosfs by this new (now staging) fat implementation. In linux kernel we really do not need two different implementation of VFAT32. So I'm a bit sceptical about usefulness of this exfat code/driver, if it makes any sense to have it even in staging. --=20 Pali Roh=C3=A1r pali.rohar@gmail.com --22htbofgnb45e3kb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF0EABECAB0WIQS4VrIQdKium2krgIWL8Mk9A+RDUgUCXWg7/QAKCRCL8Mk9A+RD UscXAJwPPJqKcOQjnAYTGn7FOoM5do7AtgCfVuTe+I2XcSSZjydWed7Afnz64cs= =Xup+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --22htbofgnb45e3kb--
