The read-only volume support is questionnable though, are they really
read-only then ?
Now, things like the EA DATA file on FAT must be handled by dosfs
itself, not an upper layer unfortunately, since that very file is
actually just a fake file to make sure the clusters won't be reclaimed
by scandisk, but the dirents actually have a pointer to the cluster
that contains the eas for its node.
So much for broken designs :)
