Hello,
I have a question about the MSDOSFSROOT_OFS definition in denode.h:
/*
* Internal pseudo-offset for (nonexistent) directory entry for the
root
* dir in the root dir
*/
#define MSDOSFSROOT_OFS 0x1fffffff
I'm wondering why setting the root directory offset is 0x1fffffff?
Is there any formula to calculate root dir offset instead? Thank you.
The root dir of FAT file systems don't have entries for "." or ".." in
them. I haven't looked at the code, but I suspect this value is just used
to tell readdir code to fake them.
