Not normally using rad:, I didn't save any mail.  However,
I believe I have found a bug in either the FFS or Supra Corps
hard disk drivers.  I need to test a FFS which is not on my hard disk.

So, I need to know the following information:

1) How to produce a FFS Floppy (preferred due to memory constraints)
2) How to produce the FFS rad:.

Could people mail me Mountlist entries?  I'll post if I 
track this problem down.

If you don't want to read the problem, hit 'n'


I ported a version of CPIO (unix) to my amiga.  Under 
a normal filesystem with Supra's drivers and 1.3, this
works fine.  However, under FFS (only change) the program
crashes with guru #3.  It is not stack related, or
an actual bug in the program.  I have checked the program
over completely.  It is also not any special hardware.

I have only 2 more area to test..  The FFS and the Supra
drivers.  I don't know how the drivers and the FFS talk to
each other.  If they talk the same as under normal filesystem
then it looks like a problem in FFS.  If any one is interested,
I will send a copy of cpio (with source) and they can see if they
have a problem with their system.

Note:  This program uses *standard* system call formats.
read, write, open, close, lseek.  It does compile and 
work under unix.

thanks much
