So, I have just discovered that I can reliably lock up the MSDOS
file-system. Basically, I haven't tried to localise the problem,
yet, but it seems that if I hammer on the system with writes it
eventually locks.
An example is:
$ ksh
$ while true; do echo > $RANDOM; done
I can also obtain the results in a single file (but it takes a bit
longer).
Anyway, to the point: I am going to start looking to see if I can
determine what the problem is, but I have a few questions that
might make things quicker:
o Am I alone in seeing these problems?
o Does anyone have any suggestions of what might be going
on?
Thanks,
