Umssync

YaST calls a programme umssync after mounting. This programme creates an index in which additional information, that does not fit in the FAT, is stored (--Linux--).
This programme gets into an endless loop, when it finds filenames with german umlauts. The result is that the computer seems to be halted, although it still works very slowly.

An umssync programme's new version is on our FTP server (ftp.suse.de) in:
ftp.suse.de/suse_update/November95/umsdos This should solve the problem by which YaST halts while mounting the UMSDOS filesystem, when files with umlauts in the name (what should be avoided anyway) are available on the DOS partition.

This version's disadvantage is that every file with umlauts in the filenames in the umsdos directory is not visible anymore under Linux.
A file readme.ums, that describes the programme's use, is also available.
