#11 disk write
I use STonX on Linux2.2.x/PentiumII350 (Mandrake7.2).
All my partitions are ReiserFS.
I use STonX in ST HiRes (640x400x2), booted from
TOS2.06fr. Drives are:
c(boot): host fs link to directory
d(data): host fs directory
e(prog): host fs link to directory
h(home): host fs directory (-fs $HOME)
No drive A or B as they don't seem to work good enough.
When on the desktop, everything seems to work fine.
But when I lanch STZip 2.6 to decompress a e:STZip file
to d:, this program is unable to create directories; it
can only create files.
I tried using a -disk f:atari.fs drive, created using
mkdosfs -A of 10MB.
STZip is able to write to the atari.fs drive, both
directories and files. But after a while, it crashes
(bombs) and further reads/writes are forever impossible
on the atari.fs' filesystem.
Note that while using STZip, Mint is not active.

Is this a problem with emulated drives or mapped file
systems. Usually the HD's are emualted with a unix fs and
intercepting the high level GEMDOS calls. Floppys are
bitcopy images of the floppy drive and accessed on a sector
by sector basis.
