msdosfs: VFAT support on FAT16 filesystems?

[Ulrich Spoerlein]

Hi current@,

I own a crappy MP3-Stick that requires a FAT16 filesystem. The big
problem is that FreeBSD truncates all files created on that filesystem
to 8.3 characters. You can imagine that this sucks, if you're trying to
copy several MP3s by the same artist to a directory on the disk.

The question is thus, why does it do that? I think this used to work
just fine in the 5.x line.

"What happen?"
