fs: generic handling of single dot (.) in disk-based filesystems

2010-02-05T02:15:25+00:00

Single dot (.) support is useful to have for readdir.  In some
filesystems we get it for free, but not in others.  Either way, handle
it generically.

FAT: handle WinNT filename case flags

2010-02-05T02:07:37+00:00

Handle WinNT-style filename case flags (where it uses a shortname only
but with flags to indicate the filename case.)

codepage: add a lower-case table

2010-02-05T01:56:03+00:00

Add a lower-case table; necessary for readdir on FAT in the presence
of WinNT case flags.

FAT: cache file position, re-enable codepages

2010-02-05T01:40:36+00:00

Cache the position of the file rather than seeking through the FAT
from the beginning every time.

Re-enable the handling of codepages.  This is not yet fully complete:
when using WinNT case flags, we need an upper->lower case table as
well.

FAT: For FAT32, the root directory is a cluster chain

2010-02-02T02:21:08+00:00

The old code would set the FAT32 root directory right after the FAT
like everything else... which would just happen to work if the root
directory was in cluster 2.  This is very common for a newly formatted
filesystem, but isn't guaranteed!

mkdiskimage: add option -s to make a sparse image

2010-02-01T23:41:43+00:00

It is often fine to have a sparse file for the output image, so add an
-s option to generate a sparse image.

core: set QUIET_FLAG if we load Linux "quiet"

2010-02-01T17:45:23+00:00

If we see the "quiet" flag for the Linux kernel, also suppress the
early Linux kernel messages; for people who want a completely clean
boot.

FAT: fix FAT16/32 next cluster calculation, make more similar to FAT12

2010-02-01T04:17:47+00:00

The FAT16/32 next cluster calculations were changed to be somewhat
more like the FAT12 one, but that was done incorrectly: we would end
up reading off the end of the FAT sector we were looking at.  Make it
structurally more similar to the FAT12 calculation, and actually make
it compute correctly.
