Re: vfat: attempt to access beyond end of device

Hi, 

This bug will be fixed by the following change.

diff -urN linux-2.4.7-pre6.orig/fs/fat/inode.c linux-2.4.7-pre6/fs/fat/inode.c

 	struct super_block *sb = inode->i_sb;
 	struct buffer_head *bh;
 	struct msdos_dir_entry *raw_entry;

 retry:
 	i_pos = MSDOS_I(inode)->i_location;

But, should change ino/i_location/i_pos to unsigned long in
fat/vfat/msdos/umsdos, IMHO.

Thanks.
