Hi,
While trying to get affs working again, I noticed that the current
cont_prepare_write is hardly working, if you write to a file in steps of
1024, the bytes pointer is never updated resulting in an endless loop.
Below is a fixed version, that also removes the bogus tricks to the
bytes ptr. I

invisible to VFS. Check fatfs - it uses the thing to trigger allocation,
but actual zero-out goes on per-sector basis.
I tried vfat on a MO drive with 1KByte sectors - it doesn't work. I also
don't know how you want to
