It must be my day to ask stupid questions.  Is it full?  "df" to see.

Can you write to it with an ordinary linux app, say
cp /usr/local/bin/wineserver /deposito/splooft.exe
rm /deposito/splooft.exe
?
(it's no particular good to you there, so we may as well clean up after
ourselves).

I have never met a native windose dll I liked, so I do loads order like
so:


[DllOverrides]
"*"            = "builtin, so, native"

[AppDefaults\\juno.exe\\DllOverrides]
"msvcrt"       = "native"
"riched32"     = "native"

[AppDefaults\\netscape.exe\\DllOverrides]
"msvcrt"       = "native"

I doubt that is anything to do with this one, though.

Sorry, I don't have any fat filesystems or spare partitions, and it
seems too much trouble to make one on a loopback device, put it in
.wine/config and find a windose app to test with, but vfat worked last
time I used it.  With few exceptions (aspi?) wine uses the linux access
methods for any fstype you have a linux driver for.  There is nothing
real special about vfat.  Permissions are set by mount, but it looks as
if you know that already.
