I have installed the .rar system and have the ext2 file system mounted at
bootup. Mine uses drive F: as the drive it is on.
I have noticed there is a problem when using Cygwin and referring to this
drive. I am using cygwin-b20.1 (ts=12-30-1998). The problem is that the
sizes listed with "ls -l" for normal files is always 0. For directories the
sizes are always multiples of 1024 bytes.
The sizes show properly in CMD.EXE and in explorer, so AFAIK Cygwin is not
using the size info properly. Possible bug that is fixed in a later
snapshot?
