[QUOTE="Neil Scales, post: 130701, member: 2403"] Re: Removing the xlr latches... FAT/FAT32 are not really designed for situations where power loss is likely (basically, for each write of data, at least one more is required to update the indexes, so if the power fails during one or the other, things go wrong), so it's of no real surprise that you lost everything on a reboot. Transactional file systems like ZFS/NTFS/BTFS etc were invented for this purpose, but their coding implementation is really hard to get right. Bill Gates (or whoever it was) wrote FAT on an airplane in assembly ([URL]http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2013/10/08/10454920.aspx[/URL]) 30 odd years ago, so it can't be that difficult :-) [/QUOTE]
