Tech Note 102 says that if we don't set the ioFlVersNum to zero, this will happen (it also says that this will only happen on MFS, yet we are using HFS). Well, we did this and it still happened. So we tried setting ioFVersNum to zero, and the problem went away. Can some Apple Guru (that's probably you Larry) please make a statement from Apple that says that this was the case and proper fix so that we don't have our code later causing new versions of the file system to wig out? Paul Smethers SmethersBarnes /* Also, we did notice a note in Inside Mac IV (p. 120) that said that the ioParam.ioVersNum should be zero. Does this carry on for ioFVersNum in the fileParm variant? Furthermore, for PBCreate (not PBHCreate), ioFVersNum is considered to be an input, but is left out for PBHCreate. Was it supposed to be an input for PBHCreate also? */ /* Isn't programming the mac fun :-) */
