Subject2.2.0pre2 and 2.2.0pre4: FAT32 partition out of disk space
Hello all,

On my system at home, I have an 8GB hard drive with a 4GB
Windows 98 partition along with an extended partition holding Linux
and its swap space. Somehow, every time I boot 2.2.0pre2 and
2.2.0pre4, the FAT32 filesystem code does something to the
bootsector that causes both Windows and Linux to incorrectly
report free disk space. I am able to repair it each time I run
Scandisk under Windows, but it keeps recurring each time the
Linux kernel is booted. This phenomenon does not occur with
2.0.36.

I don't have my config files handy, but if you need them, I'll be
happy to e-mail them.

Thanks,
--Arthur
