I can't get this to happen at all. 2.2.1/msdos, 2.2.1-ac6/msdos, 2.2.1-ac6/ext2. It just says "No space left on device" for me. Here's what I'm trying:
modprobe ppa mkfs.ext2 /dev/sda4 mount /dev/sda4 /mnt dd if=/dev/zero of=zeros bs=1024 count=10240 for n in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do cp -v zeros /mnt/$n; done
I'm using EPP 32-bit mode, if that's likely to make a difference.
I _have_ had crashes when reading from the Zip drive (with a vfat fs), but only about twice ever. I'm still hunting for that one. The most recent time that happened was with 2.2.1, so it's still there.
