Thanks for your note - just to explain the problem I had and get a little
more detail from you . .
- I put a first cartridge in the (IDE) Orb drive and put an ext2 filesystem
on it
- I removed the first cartridge and put a second cartridge in the drive and
put an ext2 filesystem on it
- I mounted the filesystem and copied a number of files to it and did a
listing to check that files were copied OK
- I unmounted this cartridge, put the first cartridge back, mounted it and
did a listing => it listed the files that had been put on the second
cartridge!
When I contacted the distributor and (eventually) Castlewood they seemed to
know that this is what would happen - are you sure you are not getting this
effect?
Regards,
Phil.
