Hi Ian,
I finally came around to test the attached patch for newfs_msdosfs on
the dreamplug, and I can confirm that it works!
It also still works on i386/x86_64 and the disk formatted on ARM is
recognised properly on all systems.
Is it still possible to commit this patch to 9?
I believe it's a very useful and non problematic commit.
Mat
