The FAT file system volume label file stored in the root directory should match the volume label field in the FAT boot sector. As consequence, the max length of these fields ought to be the same. This patch replaces the magic '11' usef in the struct fat_boot_sector with MSDOS_NAME, which is used in struct msdos_dir_entry. Please check the following references: 1. Microsoft FAT specification 2005 (http://read.pudn.com/downloads77/ebook/294884/FAT32%20Spec%20%28SDA%20Contribution%29.pdf). Search for 'volume label'. 2. Microsoft Extensible Firmware Initiative, FAT32 File System Specification (https://staff.washington.edu/dittrich/misc/fatgen103.pdf). Search for 'volume label'. 3. User space code that creates FAT filesystem sometimes uses MSDOS_NAME for the label, sometimes not. Search for 'if (memcmp(label, NO_NAME, MSDOS_NAME))'. I consider to make the same patch there as well. https://github.com/dosfstools/dosfstools/blob/master/src/mkfs.fat.c Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1543096879-82837-1-git-send-email-carmeli.tamir@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Carmeli Tamir <carmeli.tamir@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@suse.de> Acked-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@acm.org> Cc: Martin K.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
