Some disk monitoring programs have trouble with UF2 FAT filesystem

[dhalbert]

Several people have discovered that running programs like AIDA64 and Hard Disk Sentinel cause Windows Explorer to hang when trying to read or write files from the UF2 "filesystem".

Some reports:

I've reported this to AIDA64: https://forums.aida64.com/topic/4296-uf2-bootloader-usb-drive-and-aida64-cause-explorer-to-freeze/. They will investigate

I'm not sure where to place responsibility for this, but perhaps there's some extra emulation that might help. I don't think it's good for these programs to cause a freeze-up though, if a drive is not acting according to expectation -- they should fail more nicely.

AIDA64 has a beta that is supposed to fix this: https://forums.aida64.com/topic/4296-uf2-bootloader-usb-drive-and-aida64-cause-explorer-to-freeze/?do=findComment&comment=20455
