The problem is, that no one remembers how things used to be
before Y2K. I suppose that 1 Jan 1980 date (or DOS epoch)
was normal.
FAT root directory is different than others, for example
it does not have a true "parent" entry with attrs, times etc.
It cannot also grow easily. Even it's cluster number is a
special case (0) or MSDOSFS_ROOT.
Anyone wants to see my "/dos" entry on otherwise-compliant
Solaris 2.5/Intel?
# ls -ld /dos
drwxrwxrwx 1 root other 16384 Jan 1 1970 /dos
It's even UNIX epoch! :)
