[iyonix-support] Bugs in SCSIFS?

I've been looking a lot recently at some flash drives. I've
noticed two errors today in directory entries generated by
SCSIFS:
1) The .. entry has a cluster number of 0. This means it
doesn't link back to its parent - which is the sole purpose
of the dotdot entry.
2) On a FAT16-formatted drive, when I created a new directory,
the top 2 bits of the cluster number weren't zero. This is
of course illegal for FAT16.
I'm using an Iyonix with RO5.11. (Yes, I know, I should
upgrade.)
I notice that Matt Ault warned against renaming an SD card on
the Iyonix. I have in the past tried renaming USB drives and
found the same problem. I haven't dared try since, on any
drive that contains any valuable data.
Also, a question. The drive I'm using most, appears to have
a volume name of David_01. However, I can't find this on the
drive: it isn't in the volume boot record, and there is no
volume name entry in the root directory. Where else can a
name be stored?
