It also gives you a chance to make things worse by continuing to write to the device. If you force it RO at the first sign of trouble, maybe you lose a few blocks of one file. If you keep writing to it, creating new files, erasing files, and so on, pretty soon your corrupted filesystem is even more corrupted. > I suggest that the default errors of linux fat use FAT_ERRORS_CONT > instead of FAT_ERRORS_RO. And what user benefit does that give? If you keep going, they won't realize their device is corrupted, and won't have any reason to *fix* the filesystem. --==_Exmh_1318467461_2509P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFOljeFcC3lWbTT17ARAm8HAKCgBTt0Bhi+1dib+RmUXOF4l57rfACgvHEV 8RMb7ya2i705jgtjZHX5/4U= =H/dy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1318467461_2509P--
