Unfortunately I think we're just going to have to live with that. It is
right that fatfs behaves as it does, and unfortunate that some distros will

For reference: how does mandrake implement this? Just in /etc/fstab? How
should we tell other people to fix this?

It's trivial to do in-kernel but no, I'm afraid there isn't a userspace
interface for this.
