Hey FreeBSDers, I wrote a few weeks ago about a horrible problem that I was having where my filesystems were vaporizing. Fix possibilities from my problem report were bleak, i.e. get a new disk, controller, or cable. Anyway, I went through all of the possibly funny stuff I might be doing and remembered a mild warning on the mount_msdos man page about unpredictable stuff for DOS greater than 3.3. I took the entry that mounted the msdos filesystem out of my fstab and what do you know? I have had no problems whatsoever since then. I have been a little shy to retest the hypothesis that mounting msdos is hosing my system. But, if this is the case, I am thinking about the possibility of a more stern warning to the mount_msdos man page reader. Does anyone use DOS 3.3 now? Do people mount >3.3 filesystems successfully? Do people have experience mounting Windows 95 level DOS filesystems? -keith
