[PATCH 1/2] filetype: Improve FAT detection

Sun Sep 16 08:32:12 EDT 2012


We may have some disk with MBR as a first sector. In this case, the
current FAT check returns an error. However, the FAT sector exist and
the MBR can tell us where it is.

This patch make the FAT fs try to find the FAT boot sector on the first
sector of the first partition in case it is not on sector 0.
