Do those "clusters" get written out even when the msdosfs slice is mounted read-only? I was getting corruption even in that case. If it'd be useful, I could repeat my testing. My setup has changed from 2.0.5-RELEASE to 2.1.0-RELEASE recently. Boy was that wasy easy! Just upgraded from 2.0.5 to 2.1.0 lickety split. Only problem I've seen so far is that my modem keeps getting into a weird state with an unusual set of lights left on and getty keeping the port grabbed. Haven't gotten around to tracking THAT problem down (could've been some MS-stuff software that I installed that possibly managed to trash some modem settings in its online registration process? I don't know yet). Hmmm...maybe I'll have to go peruse the handbook to find dialin/out modem setup hints that I missed. So much playing...so little time... ramble... At any rate, I'd be willing to test out any candidate fixes (provided I have enough time to get a good system backup done :-)).
