DOSFS problems

[Thomas Doerfler]

Hello Adriano,

can you post more information about your 
environment? What RTEMS version are you using, 
what are the sizes of your harddisk paritions, 
what type of FAT file system do you have there? 
How do you try to mount the file systems?

I have adapted the RTEMS DOS-FS to pc386 and 
MPC860 hardware, fed my changes back to RTEMS 
(they are in 4.6.0 now), and finally had the 
impression that things are running fine now. 

wkr,
	Thomas.
