Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dosfstools
This patch saves about 25% of RAM (about 4MB for every 2GB of space)
when checking an FAT file system. This is important especially in mobile
devices using large FAT file systems. The patch was written by Eero
Tamminen (eero.tamminen at nokia.com).
"Attached patch uses always the memory allocated for the first FAT. If second
FAT is better, it's contents are just copied to memory allocated for reading
the first FAT. When checking 2GB card, it saves almost 4MB of RAM, for 8GB
card the saved amount would be significantly larger." -- Eero
** Affects: dosfstools (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
