Hi; Just thought I'd mention ... There is a Google SoC project that is doing basically the same for FreeBSD. I am no fs expert but I did look up some insteresting stuff for them.
An old but rather nice reference for a FAT on UNIX implementation is this: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/mach/public/www/doc/abstracts/dos-fs.html They suggest some interesting extensions, but of course the FAT32 spec, that you already have, is key. Another interesting thing to do is to add Extended Attributes: http://www.tavi.co.uk/os2pages/eadata.html IBM has a patent over those EAs, but you still probably want to have fsck respect them. Finally, it would be really nice to have a defrag utility ported .. I think FreeDOS has one. So yes.. there are a lot of interesting things to do on pcfs :). Pedro.
