O'Brien, and Robert Nordier (I don't know who is really on the "questions" list) for responding. I will exit using Michael's last statement: >Eeeew. How are our intrepid MSDOSFS hackers going? And are we talking >MSDOSFS-related VFS corruption, or something more insidious? I will keep experimenting with various options. A plain old MSDOS floppy (no FIPS attempted) seems to work fine, so I would not start pointing to VFS problems just yet. Also, I hope I am not just lucky that MSDOSFS works fine on my 2.0.5 system. The MSDOS file system seems trivial, so I guess I will learn about it and try some debugging. One option I will also try will be two separate disk drives. That should answer some questions. Thanks again. Bye. -- Dan Malek
