I'm glad it helped. :-)

Mh, that's just the same phenomenon one always sees with web sites. If=20
some data structure, be it a file system or an HTML-like tag soup,=20
doesn't conform to the specification, the processors (fs driber or web=20
browser) behavoiur will be implementation dependant... One specific error=20
will break one implementation but not the other, while another error will=20
just cause the opposite, there may be implementations which are more=20
sensitive to specification violation and so on...

So the behaviour you observed is not that surprising, after all. ;)

Well, as I understood it this message just stated that the fs driver was=20
confused and blocked write access for safety reasons, to avoid further=20
damage.

It had nothing to do with a "kernel panic" or similar.

Greetings and happy music listening,
