Hello,

i just had several hard problems with msdosfs, and after checking the PR-
database, i also saw some fixes, but those fixes were not included in the
1.5.2-kernel. Aren't closed PRs included in the production releases?

But maybe someone has a solution (as it doesn't work yet, even after patching
according to kern/9206). The problem can be reproduced:

Get the FreeDOS 8 Beta installation image, configure it on a vnode:

vnconfig vnd0 /tmp/img 512/18/2/80

if you do fsck_msdos now, everything is okay. Now mount the image, delete
some stuff (rm -fr util install docs), unmount it, and fsck_msdos again.

At least, the 2 FATs are completely out of sync...

Any solutions? Or should i open a new PR with the seen problems?

...Michael
