Bug Description
The vvfat driver sometimes generates entries about which file system checking utilities generate complaints.
For example, dosfsck will complain that the volume label entry has non-zero size. ScanDisk from Windows 9x complains about invalid dot (".") and dot-dot ("..") entries in directories and also about invalid long file name entries. MS-DOS ScanDisk also often manages to find "lost clusters" on the drive.
Tangentially: qemu-img convert fat:test test.img doesn't seem to work -- it generates an 504MiB of zero bytes and hangs. qemu-img map fat:test generates an assertion failure. Having qemu-img working might have helped with debugging the above issue.
