I'm trying to use a dos filesystem for one of my partitions and am
having some strange behavior. I can mount it just fine. When I "ls"
it, it shows me all the files from a subdirectoy in the partition. If
I "ls -l", I get a buch of "foo.bar: file not found", where foo.bar
is a file on the partition. Also, if I try to cat any of the files, I
get "file not found" errors. It seemed to work just fine on a floppy
however. Now in hunting down the problem, I came across a reference in
the man pages stating that mounting msdos filesystems created by
MSDOS versions after 3.3 could be problematic. Is this still true and
is this what I'm seeing? If not... any other clues from the collective
wisdom of CUBFM?

TIA
