[...] Indeed :-) But well, at least some work has now been done: - The problem of completely corrupting the table should be fixed for all versions >= 4.0~beta2+experimental14 - The preserve_always:all interpretation as *really don't touch this disk* is finally there in 4.0~beta2+experimental16. Further testing would be much appreciated :-) Best, Michael
