Hi thanks for the next version. And again I have to ask: Did you test it
? and how ? Did you tried xfstest No. 251 ? Couple of comments bellow.

Thanks!

You really do not need new variable "rest" just for passing it into one
function. Get rid of it.

I really do not understand FAT code very much, but is this right ?
Should not you be setting free = 0 ? What will happen if you'll end up
in the same branch in next iteration ? -- free will be still set to
previous value+1, bu you'll be discarding next entry. I am sorry but
this whole thing is not very readable.

I don't not see why you are testing count all the time since it has not been
changed since the "if" condition started. how about doing one test
before the "if" condition ?
