290	Infrequent hang of loaders while reading from fat during startup	Jakub Jermář	Jakub Jermář	"In about 1/10 boots of default mainline,844 on ia32, I experience a hang when loading of the bdsh tasks on all vc's gets stuck in the loader phase. The loader tasks seem to be waiting for VFS / FAT to answer a read() request.

Looking at the FAT task, I can see that there is one dispatched pair of VFS_OUT_READ and IPC_M_DATA_READ. The other reads are still in a non-dispatched state.

For some reason, FAT seems to be unable to make enough forward progress to answer the read request."	defect	closed	major	0.4.3	helenos/fs/fat		fixed
