Hi all, My system is : kernel 2.4.8 with ext3-0.9.6 patch e2fsprogs-1.22-2, mount-2.11g, util-linux-2.11f And ext3 filesystem works fine, but when a vfat partition is mounted: [fargo] [~] # mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/tmp [fargo] [~] # mount /dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/hdd1 on /mnt/tmp type vfat (rw) everything looks ok till I try to access that partition. A 'cd' to the directory /mnt/tmp causes an error of 'not a directory' so i can't access to vfat partition. Switching to the unpatched kernel makes everything work fine again. I asked Andries but he doesn't think is a mount problem, so what do you think, is this a problem caused by ext3 patch or by vfat filesystem ?
