I am seeing file system corruption in NWFS in 2.5.0 with the patch. It's
not a severe as
ext2 directly was, and is simply creating mirror mismatches between the FAT
and DIR
tables, and is easily recovered, but it is annoying. I am also getting
"resource busy" during reboot when I try to reboot with a mounted NWFS
volume.
