With that most recent patch ( which I am just committing now ) ... maybe.
In -4.x, the alternate B_PAGING path in vn.c's vnstrategy() code is used
for VM faults as well as swap I/O.  In -3.x that path was only used for
swap I/O.  It is possible that there are more bugs in this section of 
vn.c.

I would say it is 'probably' ok, but it will take more people testing
the vn device under -4.x to be able to say that it is safe.

It's broken for me without Matt's patch posted the other day (not yet checked
in). I can send you a copy if you missed it.

 And does current's msdos fs
 support fat-32?

Don't know, but I think so.

 Don't know, but I think so.

FAT32 has been supported for quite a while now, along with FAT12/FAT16 and
the VFAT extension (long file names). In fact, we've just about got a read
only NTFS now too.
