Control: retitle -1 writable Virtual FAT is not very reliable Control: tag -1 + confirmed wontfix
This has nothing really to do with windows 98, but affects every guest. The thing is -- writable vFat "disks" are not the most reliable things out here, they tend to fail in one or another way due to the amount of ugliest/hackiest amount of emulation added into the mix. This thing is impossible to do "right" because there's no "right", especially when you consider that the files behind this "disk" can be modified on the host while qemu is running, and there's no way to notify guest about this changes, at all. It might be even worse than two OSes at the same time trying to modify the same FAT filesystem. vfat is a last-resort quick-n-dirty fix for a problem when you have a guest which doesn't have any other ways to communicate except of a fat image (read: a floppy). In all other cases just don't use it. So I'm tagging this as confirmed and wontfix - it really is a wontfix bug, because it is impossible to fix to start with.
