My further tests with loop-mounting the hdimage appear to have exposed a
problem - just as we were about to use this technique at a customer site.
When i copy files from Linux to the loop-mounted image (no dosemu running),
there is a significant chance that the fs layer starts to complain :

end_request: I/O error, dev 07:00, sector 670
loop: block 424 not present
 
The hdimage will then automatically remount read-only. I had not seen
these before because i was more concerned with copying from the hdimage
then. Am i missing a mount option, do the mkdexe-generated hdimages have
holes in them by default, or is this another case of 'don't do it' ?
