Subject: FAT32 workaround
I have tested some code on a FAT32 USB stick so see how the module behaved (race condition? crash?). It seems like it hangs... My interpretation is that it tries to lock, but never succeeds. It would be nice to have a workaround for this filesystem, even if it not perfect. Steffen > You mentioned that it would be hard to reliably detect what filesystem one is using, but I have found this module which seems like it might be suitable: http://search.cpan.org/~rehsack/Sys-Filesystem-1.30/lib/Sys/Filesystem.pm
  Tue Dec 04 21:08:13 2012 florent.angly [...] gmail.com - Correspondence added
Fixed: 1/ Try link() first and catch filesystems unable to link() because they will generate a 'not supported' error message. 2/ On these systems, go into compatibility mode, i.e. use copy() instead of link(). I documented the limitations of this compatibility mode.
