Yes, I have the same problem.  When I mount my DOS filesystem on wd0h
and copy some files from/to the mounted directories, the system almost
always crashs.  (So I can't effectively backup my huge sound sample files
in the 120MB-free ufs...  *sob*)

Is it a bug of mv command, or of the code which handles DOS filesystem?
And anybody knows how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.
