Hi, last week I got bitten by the UMSDOS symlink bug (symlinks are created with the last character missing). After having found and fixed the problem, I located your address to report it and found that the problem (and the fix!) has been known for at least half a year. Although your patches for other problems with UMSDOS may or may not be ready for Linus yet, the one-liner symlink patch should IMHO be submitted asap, since it is an obvious fix for an obvious bug. Apart from the symlink bug, I haven't seen any of the other known problems (but now that I have seen your list, I'll try systematically). BTW, I create the UMSDOS fs on an ATA flash disk using a 2.4.5 box for use in an embedded system running 2.2.19 cheers Anders -- "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice.
