If I remember correctly, you should only use the BFFS (mount BSD filesys under
AmigaDOS) and adosfs (mount AmigaDOS filesys under BSD) for read only purposes.
I am sure BFFS can trash your filesys on writes as you have run into and I
don't it would be wise to trust adosfs at this time. Some one else can clarify
this if I am wrong.
