[uClinux-dev] FAT16 USB Mass Storage with no MBR does not mount

[amol sukerkar]

Hello,
        Happy Thanksgiving!
        I have a USB thumb drive that is formatted as FAT16 and does not
have MBR. I am unable to mount it. By looking at the function
msdos_partition (...) in the function .../fs/partitions/msdos.c, it appears
to me that if the MBR in media is absent, then the filesystem will not
mount. The information about my setup is

Platform: Blackfin uClinux
Kernel: 2.4.8 (There I go again with my antique kernel if anyone recognize
me with my previous e-mails!!!)

        Please let me know if anyone knows a workaround or I am on my own.
Thanks!

Cheers
Amol
