But there IS a problem... I was not trying to remove a directory at all..
And the filesystem just went ape and turned read only... I had to unmount
and remount it to be able to touch a file... then it went read-only
again... ran it though scandisk (after rebooting to win95) and found all
sorts of wierd problems... fixed them all... rebooted into linux... mounted
vfat.. moved a bunch of files arround... went read only... rebooted into
win95 and more errors were there...
I think linux vfat is hosing my fs. Scandisk gave me a large range of
errors, crosslinked files, unassociated long file names, lost chains... and
god knows what else...
wierd...
BTW.. is there a vfat/umsdos hybrid yet?
