File corruption Date: Sun, 13 Jun 2004 17:32:10 -0500 "Fix Use UFS2(possibly UFS) as the backend of share instead of Fat32" The "Fix" in this bug report is not acceptable. Sometimes UFS is not an option. FAT32 is a cross-platform file system. UFS is not. Furthermore such a bug should not be in a -stable branch, unless the end user is warned somehow when trying to use it. Do you picture microsoft shipping out Windows XP with a file corruption bug in FAT32 and telling people (after they experience the problem and data loss, not ahead of time) that their fix is to use NTFS?
