Could you test whether it works well? If it works fine, I'll merge and
clean it up. If it doesn't work, please fix it.

BTW,

+ if (sbi->fat_bits != 32 && total_clusters+2 > sbi->
+ fat_length*SECTOR_SIZE*8/sbi->fat_bits)
+ sbi->fat_bits = 12;

SECTOR_SIZE should be sb->s_blocksize? Or Atari doesn't support the
sector size other than 512 bytes?

Thanks.
