Anyone who has ever ventured into home brew OS development will probably tell you that it is fairly hard not to invent a FAT-like file system (file allocation table). I'm strongly against software patents, period but even if you think they should be granted in some cases...I feel like FAT is actually too trivial. I guess one could argue that using a pair of tables is innovative etc. etc.
