[MiNT] Corrupted FS with 1.15.1b9

[joska@nuts.edu (Jo Even Skarstein)]

The last two days I've had lots of problems with my FAT-partitions:

1. It's no longer possible to create files and folders on my E-drive. This is
   a VFAT-partition.
2. When I booted today atleast two files in my N.AES-folder (c:\n_aes\) was
   corrupted. FNTWIN.RSC and N_AES.CNF consisted of what looked like random
   data.

Here's the output of Julian Reschke's df if that can help:

This is the relevant lines from mint.cnf:

NEWFATFS=A,C,D,E,H,I,J
VFAT=A,E,I,J
VFATLCASE=y
CACHE=300
WB_ENABLE=E,F,G,H,I,J

As you can see I have been using NEWFATFS on all my FAT-partitions for a long
time.

Yesterday I also noticed the locking-situation Martin-Eric described. I copied
the entire E-partition to J (also VFAT-partition) with Thing, and after about
30Mb the copying halted. There was no respons from the mouse and keyboard, but
with Martin-Eric's recent mail in mind I decided to wait and see. After a
couple of minutes the copying resumed.
