SubjectRe: [PATCH] staging: exfat: add exfat filesystem code to
Hi Dan,

It'll conflict with the current exfat staging drivers.
And moreover, I don't think it makes sense to use sdfat naming in mainline.

Samsung uses it since it handles all fat filesystems.
From what I can tell, that's not in mainline's interests:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git/commit/?h=staging-next&id=58985a9d2d03e977db93bf574a16162766a318fe

What I'm proposing is to remove the current exfat drivers and add
sdfat-based one(that I removed fat16/32 handlings and renamed to
exfat).

Agreed.
Perhaps Namjae didn't pick up our questions with all those mails we
sent during last few days.

Maybe ping him again?

Thanks.
