KERNEL: New File System Module!!!!!!!



I have finally done it.  I have Win95 and Linux on my system(like many
others), and love using long file names.  I also know that I can have long
names with umsdos.  However, any file that I created with umsdos would never
appear with a long name in Win95, only the short.  Until now.

Here comes UVFAT.  Unix permissions, links, etc on top of Windows95
partitions.  Now, if you create a long name with UVFAT, the file will show
up properly in Win95!  And it took only two days to do it!

For those interested, all I did was copy fs/umsdos to fs/uvfat, used "sed"
to change all instances of "msdos" to "vfat", and then edited mangle.c to
conform with vfat name handling.

This was developed with 2.0.31.  No patch available yet.  I am interested in
seeing how many people would like this.
