Any ideas? Yup ... Don't be so pushy ;-) IMO the MSDOS FS is flaky, if you do what i find myself doing too often: sitting in several different xterms on a mounted dos partition, in diferent dirs, cp'ing & mv'ing things about simultaneously, .... something always seems to break .... I too had a crash recently 'cos of DOS, BTW I run with options MSDOSFS, & it still crashed on me (cant remember the err msg). only safe way out was : Boot DOS, run chkdsck c: /f Reboot Freebsd, redo my work in dos one thing at a time, not pushing the DOS FS too hard :-) I havent bothered to read the DOS FS code, but i suspect there's inadequate provision for simultaneous multiple write access to the FS (after all, DOS never had more than one process anyway, & when TSR's arrived, hell broke loose ;-). So, to reiterate, reboot, run chkdsk, do everything in from just one shell, don't be pushy with a nasty DOS/FS ;-) Julian S
