(I already suguested this, by the way.) The problem is that this adds
overhead: you have to write everything out twice. Also, there is problems
with sync: if the vfat lfn dosn't macth the ---linux-.--- file's lfn, what
happens?

Beutiful. In fact, I'm going to start working on bringing umsdos up to date
with the dcache changes. (Note: if anybody knows when the various API
changes took place, please mail me PRIVATELY.)
