Linux bugs (VT100 mode, /media/$USER/BUS_PIRATE5 issues)

I’ve started a thread.

The problem lies with two initiators (e.g., firmware and host) having a view of the file system, while allowing one of those initiators to modify the file system. The other (read-only) initiator may read invalid data.

The problems are even greater if both initiators are allowed to simultaneously modify the file system. Neither is aware of the changes that the other is making, and on FAT, the changes are across multiple clusters, so even a “magic” firmware cannot really synchronize.

Yes, this is one reason MTP was created…

Note: I will likely be offline for the next couple days… not ignoring stuff, just … real life.
