Good day, all: I am having a repeatable problem with "del *.*" on an NTFS partition mounted by NTFS4DOS.
I can do a DIR on the directory I am using (\TEMP) and see 86 files. A "del *.*" deletes 74 of them and yields two errors: E:\TEMP\LICENSE.D32: Invalid Argument E:\TEMP\SAVE.DBG: Invalid Argument (Oddly, these two files ARE deleted). This is with the development kernel...the debug kernel does not print these two errors but behaves the same way). A subsequent "del *.*" deletes 6 of the twelve files. A subsequent "del *.*" deletes 3 of the remaining 6 files. A subsequent "del *.*" deletes 2 of the remaining files. A subsequent "del *.*" gets the last one. This is repeatable. I will start reading FreeCOM code, but does anyone have any ideas? I also have a report of a wildcard copy hanging a computer, but I cannot reproduce that one yet. This is on the "Haunted HP Pavilion", so clustersize is 2MB. However, I haven't found any more accesses to bytes_per_sector in FreeCOM. Any ideas?
