Title:
Ubuntu FAT-implementation lacks EPOC/Psion support
Status in Linux:
Won't Fix
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
The Ubuntu kernel, like most Linux kernels, doesn't support FAT in
quite the same way Windows, for instance, does. This means, amongst
other things, that the FAT-implementation used in the EPOC operating
system of old Psion palmtop computers (such as the Psion 5mx) isn't
quite compatible. A lot of garbage characters etc.
http://software.frodo.looijaard.name/fat-epoc/ has a very good
explanation, and the patch is compatible with current Ubuntu kernel
source.
To me, this seems like a bug in the FAT implementation rather than a
simple feature request - and it shouldn't be that hard to implement,
either. However, it's slightly above my own capacity at the moment.
