Yes, it's a known problem and work is being done on it, AFAIK. It doesn't happen if you mount the MSDOS partitions later "by hand" (or you might try a script that waits a few seconds after booting everything). The bug might be fixed by John Dyson's latest patches (they're in the latest CTM delta), though I haven't tried the MSDOS fs since them. > The question, Is there a new change in mount_msdos code that is > causing this, or should I mount VFAT (aka FAT32, WIN95) partitions > using another 'unknown to me' command ? Anyway, I seem to remember from recent discussions here that VFAT is not supported in the MSDOS fs code in FreeBSD... -- Pierre Beyssac pb@fasterix.frmug.org pb@fasterix.freenix.org {Free,Net,Open}BSD, Linux : il y a moins bien, mais c'est plus cher Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-manager@EU.org
