[gentoo-user] 2.6.31 vfat driver broken?

[Frank Steinmetzger]

Hi guys n gals

I use FAT32 on my external HDDs to make it easier to share with other people 
and OSes. Never had a problem before, but now I do. Lately, when I save 
videos to my disks, and play them back after the file system cache is 
emptied, they have completely different content (of files that are long 
deleted).

I just had the magnificent idea to look into the syslog and found loads of
"kernel: bio too big device sdb (248 > 240)"

I heard romours of problems with the current FAT implementation due to M$. I 
went back to 2.6.30 for the moment. So what’s your proposal? Usually I don’t 
have the need for übercurrent kernels, but would installing 2.6.32 help?

TIA
