Dear Linux kernel readers: (and Jacques and Linus)
I am running kernel 1.3.99, with UMSDOS. Because I wanted to avoid having ^M's visible in my files when editing them with vi, I tried the -o conv=auto mount option.
I find that if my volume is mounted conv=auto, then doing a umssync causes EMD file errors. Catting files after this also causes problems.
I am including a transcript to demonstrate. My ums utilities are the ones that came with Slackware 3.0. I'm guessing that this is caused by the --linux-.--- also undergoing translation, which has to be a Bad Thing.
Is this a known problem? Is there anything I should or shouldn't be doing, or know about?
Many thanks in advance for all replies.
Mitch.
