One that escalates a bug report. It has been filed a few years back, for
reference:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=4993461
>From a technical point of view, I think the singlethreadedness needs to be
addressed first before the FAT caching can be properly solved. That's so
because if there's no proper locking scheme designed _before_ one changes
the FAT32 caching, one will, in the end, have to design the locking scheme
around whatever the caching methodology will be. "design around" sounds
awful to my technical sense ...
But I'm quite open to suggestions; if you have codechanges that have a
demonstratable benefit, pls. submit them, I'll be more than happy to give
you a review, and help with integration.

Sometimes, dreams are just that, dreams, and waking up means we find
priorities and objectives in the real world are different.
