This took me a while to figure out, so I figured I might as well report it in case it made sense to anyone else. I'm running FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE on a Sony Vaio Laptop. What I'm seeing is that a Win98 partition I've mounted is garbling MP3 files I'm storing there when they are played. The file is unchanged, but when I play the file it always cuts off with about 1 minute left to play. If I copy that file out of the Win98 partition to my Unix home directory, it plays fine. If I FTP it to my Windows box it plays fine. However, if I mount that Win98 partition with Samba on that Windows box, an play it on the Windows box, it screws up. The only conclusion I can draw is that the FreeBSD fs driver for the msdos partition is corrupting data as it reads it for applications... and in a predictable way for each file, since the song will cut off at the same place every time I play it. I'm mounting that msdos partition by a script in rc.d that says: mount_msdos -u nick -g nick -m 755 -l /dev/ad0s1 /usr/msdos And then I am accessing the files by a symbolic link like so: /home/nick/mp3 -> /usr/msdos/mp3 Hopefully the message will turn up in search results if someone else runs into this very wierd problem! Please e-mail me directly if I can provide any more info, as I am not subscribed to this list. Thanks.
