positron fails to sync from partition mounted under vfat
i have a directory /mnt/dos/music mounted with vfat that i wish to sync with my
neuros.
python apparently throws an uncaught IOError that causes the application to
crash; my guess is that this is based on trying to apply a mode setting that is
unavailable to this filesystem?
at any rate, here's the backtrace:
[cooper@foofoo cooper]$ positron sync
