Bug in getcwd() also in 4.11 kernel

Wed Oct 15 11:09:34 UTC 2014

During my tests with a filesystem < 12MB the FAT32 wasn't working.
Isn't it like this that the table for FAT32 is too large for only 12MB of memory.

Aer there other limitations?

Why FAT12 ?

Please create a bug report for this and attach anything you think is important. The easier it is to reproduce the more chance someone will look into it.
