Hi Dave,
it looks like you are testing different aspects, that would probably fail on
T5 as well. I am not even sure if these problems can be reliably attributed
to NVFS. (Perhaps partially.)
In any case new NVFS releases are better than the T5 original.

What was the outcome of the original tests? If you wish I can send you our
tests that are based on your idea, just they were further perfectionated.
Best regards,
Jan Slodicka
