When I use mv on a mounted DOS fs it hangs : my system. (ie. mv /dos_c_drive/autoexec.bat /dos_c_drive/test.txt) : Does anyone else have this problem? 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?
