Is this because option 2 is the persistent install and option 1 is not? Note the loopback mounts are readonly squashfs mounts. > The only files in my home are in the top > directory (the license, etc.). Writing to the symlinks fails. And so > does reading utf8 filenames. Be careful .. did you set up a persistent /home? I'm not sure what you have done. There's no substitute at some point for seeing how things work at tinycore.org. cd /sys/doc ls | grep 8 8 cd 8 Can't cd 8: '8' file does not exist cd 8½ Can't cd 8½: '8½' file does not exist cd 8? ls 8?.ms 8�.ms touch 9½ ls 9½ 9½ That's an interesting problem. I wonder if it is some artifact of the use of squashfs. The sam and venti directories are fine. This may be a flaw in tinycore ... we'll talk to them. Thanks for the testing. I have found one thing out ... I don't think 9vx is SMP-safe. I've had some real problems building in /sys/src, where 9vx gets a segv on "cpu 5" or whatever. If I boot with only one cpu, there are no problems. Worth keeping in mind ... I may modify my version of 9vx to wire itself to cpu 0, as well as its children, and see if the failures I'm seeing go away. That's a pointer at least to where the issues may be.

They're not going away I bet, but what are you talking about here? ron
