#3003 closed defect (fixed)

FAT does not support clusters bigger than 32K

Reported by: munster Owned by: Sebastian Huber
Priority: normal Milestone: 5.1
Component: fs/fat Version: 5
Severity: normal Keywords: FAT, cluster

Description

When used with 64KiB clusters, the FAT driver will loop forever in cpukit/libfs/src/dosfs/fat.c, line 580.
This happens because struct fat_vol_s declares bytes per cluster variable as uint16_t bpc, whereas it can be as big as 256KiB.

Here is a link for Linux FAT driver which doesn't make any assumption about cluster size: ​http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/fs/fat/inode.c?v=2.6.24#L1262

Do you have a test case?

Do you have a proposed solution? is it just to increase bpc type size?

I have attached a solution which increases bpc size and removes the limit.
