Instead of running fastmode you cans ave a lot of time (and possibly agravation)
by doing what I have done. The trick is to place the following in place of your
Flags = 0 in the mountlist. Make it Flags = 12336. THis sets fastmode on via 
the mountlist. Other than that the first impression of the mountlist is that it
oughta work...

Damifino. Ask the CATS folks. It IS kinda strange. Call it the argh factor of
device drivers.
