Looking at /sys/fs/msdosfs/msdosfs_vfsops.c seems to hint the existance

Oh, and before I forget: this option is defined in /sys/conf/NOTES as
well (a pure #ifdef in source code is not enough, of course :-)

Regards,
It didn't occur to me to check NOTES, since this is on a very GENERIC box. I did check the man
pages for both msdosfs and mount_msdosfs, as well as the "storage" chapter in the handbook. I
didn't see this error message or that kernel option mentioned there.
