Hi Geert ! I had a look at the patches as I was dabbling in GEMDOS FAT handling these days, and I have to say I don't understand the purpose of the commit you mentioned: fat: Atari FAT updates Add support for the Atari-variant of the FAT filesystem https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/geert/linux-m68k.git/commit/?h=m68k-queue&id=501bd95410f8347ed80bff873498db7a1b044457 to the best of my knowledge, Linux was always able to mount Atari FAT partitions, as long as the logical sector size of the FAT was up to 4096 bytes, this limit itself coming from https://github.com/gregkh/linux/blame/071a0578b0ce0b0e543d1e38ee6926b9cc21c198/fs/fat/inode.c#L1508 what problem is being fixed, or new feature added with the patch ? or am I missing something ? Emmanuel
