I think that for FAT in most cases it used ostrich algorithm. Probability that kernel crashes in the middle of operation which is updating kernel image on boot partition is very low. I'm Looking at grub's fat source code and there is no handling of dirty bit... http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/tree/grub-core/fs/fat.c It just expects that whole FAT fs is in consistent state. -- Pali Rohár pali.rohar@xxxxxxxxx
