Thanks, I can now mount affs filesystems. However when I try to write to it via "cp somefile /amiga/somefile" I get a segmentation fault. If I then do a "df -h" it hangs the system very much like the mount command did before I installed your tar-ball. Was write support expected from it. Are you the NEW maintainer of the affs stuff. I very much appreciate your response and if I can help in any way just let me know. I use affs quite a bit here at work in conjunction with UAE and real amigas.
I also received a response from I guess the original maintainer, Hans-Joachim Widmaier <hjw@zvw.de>. I quote:
"?affs is broken since somewhere in 2.3.xx. Alas, I do not have the time anymore to do anything about it, and my Amiga ran its last program, too, so I cannot test anymore. Last I know is that several guys wanted to look after affs in 2.4--at least make it run--, but it seems that nothing much has been done in that way. :-(
Sorry for not bearing better news."

I was very much relieved to from you as I know have HOPE for a completely working affs again.
