 "Fix 
 Use UFS2(possibly UFS) as the backend of share instead of Fat32"
  
   
 The "Fix" in this bug report is not acceptable. Sometimes UFS is not an
 option. FAT32 is a cross-platform file system. UFS is not.
 
 Furthermore such a bug should not be in a -stable branch, unless the end
 user is warned somehow when trying to use it. Do you picture microsoft
 shipping out Windows XP with a file corruption bug in FAT32 and telling
 people (after they experience the problem and data loss, not ahead of time)
 that their fix is to use NTFS?
