Hi Richard,

if you delete a file while uae is running it may happen that the file is
"cashed" within uae (not the contents of the file but its directory
entry). Uae will not know that you deleted the file. Of course uae
should return some error message instead of listing the file with a
wrong file size.

While you have "mounted" a directory of your linux filesystem as an
Amiga filesystem you should only access it from uae.

Regards, Jochen
