Right, we could just skip the 8.3 name matching and go straight to the longname match in fat_search_long(). I wonder if anyone ever relies on the 8.3 matching when a file has a long name on Linux? > It's also questionable IMO if this shouldn't be another FAT superdriver, > just as we have VFAT, MS-DOS etc. we could have "purevfat". It would be only a few lines of code difference between the two drivers - is it worth the maintainence overhead of splitting it up? Maybe a mount option to ignore 8.3 names for files with long names would be better? Perhaps even the default?
