i think there's somebody needed to take the msdosfs as his "child",
improves it and keeps it up to date (win95 long filenames - now in
NetBSD-current, maybe usability of compressed drives - linux has
something here and maybe - not directly related - hpfs and/or ntfs
support - here you may also find some stuff in the linux area) - but i
think the most important is a safe msdos fs (so that you can mount it
rw without the possibility of loosing data or full partitions - which
seems to be possible) and as i said somebody who really cares for the
msdos fs
