looks like someone with really good fs/fat16/fat32 knowledge needs to take a
look at this.

seems fat16/fat32 quality has been steadily going down hill since releng_4
imo.

i guess the freebsd-fs@ guys know about these problems but don't have the time
to deal with it. most of them are probably working on zfs.

good thing however that you posted a pr (kern/140134). hope somebody will step
up and fix the msdosfs code.
