I suspect that this may be causing the problem.
OK, this makes sense, I should have noticed that myself. Although I don't know much about the workings of Python, there are FCNTL.py and fnctl.so in /usr/lib/python2.3/, probably those are confused when queried case-insensitively. But if "-O" does nothing else why am I not able to get _any_ access to the JFS partition from OS/2 when formatted without the "-O" switch? A case-sensitive FS should only be a problem for running programs under OS/2, because e.g. DLLs are always referenced in upper case. For datafiles it should not matter, or am I wrong there? Anyway, thanks for solving that mystery!
