Hi,
I have a Cyrix166+, 32MB and two drives : Win95 & FreeBSD 2.1.5.
Now my problem is when I mount the Dos partition with
either the "mount_msdos /dev/wd0s1 /msdos" or the
"mount -t msdosfs ... ... command
I get the following message on the console:
"mountmsdosfs(): Warning: root directory is not a multiple
of the clustersize in length.
The outcome of that warning is, I can the mount the "dos"
partition, browse in it BUT whenever I mv files around
or copy any elsewhere, it messes up the unix filesystem
real good. (I ended up re-installing FreeBSD twice).
What is the right way to mount the DOS filesystem and exchange
file in a good manner.
Thanks for any advice.
Roger.
