I think that bad stuff happens when I move directories around. Windows

there are some issues with msdos, particularly in the directory writing
code. making or moving directories tends to result in badness.
Oh, that's bad. I have never heard of that before. So running windows on
the machine and remotely mounting the disk using shlight should be the
preferred way?
(I realize the preferred way would be to not use windows at all and
mount_nfs a remote ffs file system but that is not my setup right now)
Maybe a warning in in mount_msdos about mounting MS-DOS file systems
read-write, like the one in mount_ntfs, would be in order?
