Thank you Sean and Jerry for your responses. There may still be an issue with ext2fs support in that it may not properly read ext4 drives (just a guess). there seemed to be a runaway process when reading a large (250g) drive. a fsck from linux (xubuntu) repaired all the problems, so no loss.. If you want, I can try to recreate the problem on a spare drive. But someone would have to tell me what data to send you guys to help fix it..

after BG or during, I noticed that fat32 stopped having problems. I use fat32 all the time,
never any problems that cuaght my attention, though ymmv

Both Fat32 and NTFS support are sound. I've had no errors after Alpha 3 was issued. The problems I had were on the Alpha 2 release. The major link to those problems had to do with mount points. I resolved the problems by simply making sure all deletions were purged before I dismounted the drive.
