- Subject: [ECOS] fatfs help.
I am using fatfs on i386 pc ide device and am having a problem. I was
wondering if you could point me in the right direction for a solution.
First, I am not a FS genius, nor a FAT expert. So please bear with me.
If I unlink a file in eCos, a "dir" from within eCos shows the file missing.
When I reboot the system into FreeDos (0.9rc5, if that matters) the file
is still in the directory listing.
Rebooting back into the eCos app still shows the file missing (it's not
a cached fat table issue).
Is the problem most likely eCos fatfs, pc-ide driver, FreeDos?
Any tips on how to narrow the problem down would be greatly appreciated.
I know I could turn on some of the tracing in the fatfs, but I still
wouldn't be able to read/understand that. But if someone else can decode
it, I can provide the data.
The fat file system was formatted originally with MS-DOS 6.22. The drive
has been converted to FreeDos 0.9rc5 kernel, but never reformatted. It
is a 192MB CF card.
Thanks
David Brennan
