There is a "dirty" flag on a FAT partition, you can read about it here:
http://www.geocities.com/thestarman3/DOS/DirtyShutdownFlag.html Stefan and I have been discussing the implementation of this but decided to ask the ubuntu-devel list as well as upstream about their opinion on the matter. Upstream has not yet responded and the ubuntu-devel message is still awaiting moderation. As for the implementation of any other things. At this stage I'd be completely reluctant to create any configuration files on the FAT partition. -- Dosfsck Run On Every Boot on FAT https://launchpad.net/bugs/59293 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
