>Description:
ZIP drive on sd0, preformatted ZIP disk in drive with some stuff in its
filesystem (FAT)
mount_msdos -l -u ezy /dev/sd0h /zip
Can see the fs fine. Move around, etc. cd into a directory with some
files.
touch abogusfilename.cpp
cp abogusfilename.cpp .abogusfilenam.cpp~
rm abogusfilename.cpp
mv .abogusfilename.cpp~ abogusfilename.cpp
After this, the behavior is apparently random. Sometimes all
the files disappear and only the touched file is present.
Sometimes there are no files, sometimes files turn into
directories...etc..etc.
I have not had time to thoroughly test on other fs's (floppy), but I thought
I'd better PR it before someone else is bit.
