I think that we have to decide if postgres is supposed to work on
FAT32 or not. If, as I expect, the response is not, then we have to find
a relaiable way to detect a NTFS ( also when a tablespace is created BTW )
and refuse to start on a FATXX, and not trust on the failre of a cacls.exe

My 2 cents.
