I made a geom_vol_msdosfs GEOM module. It provides a feature
like geom_vol_ffs. Its own targets are USB memories, USB
Digital Cameras, and USB/IEEE1394 strorages formated MS-DOS
(FAT16/FAT32) File System as typical embeded filesystem.
By using it, we can get a fixed mount pointing like
/dev/vol/VOLUMELABEL. So we can write following to /etc/fstab.
/dev/vol/VOLUMELABEL /mnt/VOLUMELABEL msdosfs rw,noauto 0 0
I tested my md1 (newfs_msdos -L -f 1440), FAT32 formated by
WindowsXP, and XOSL (Extended Operationg System Loader)
Dedicated partition(slice?). Sorry, I have no external
eripheral equipments. Please test in these(avobe targets)
environments. And I hope to commit to FreeBSD source tree:-).
