One question: do you see the "tz=" option having "xxx" being a numerical
offset or a time zone. If the latter, then the DST situation could be
solved (and tz=UTC could be used to get the behavior I like, but I still
wonder if a timezone feature on FAT is useful. Also, would it not
require the kernel to look up timezone info and keep track of DST
changes? I thought the trend was to push that kind of thing into
userland...
Thanks, Joe
