#3003: FAT does not support clusters bigger than 32K
------------------------+--------------------------
 Reporter:  munster     |      Owner:  chrisj@…
     Type:  defect      |     Status:  new
 Priority:  normal      |  Milestone:  4.12
Component:  filesystem  |    Version:  4.12
 Severity:  normal      |   Keywords:  FAT, cluster
------------------------+--------------------------
 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-
