Whilst backing up a hard disk partition. I discovered the following.
Logged on as root I was able to rmdir a directory that had a filesystem
mounted to it, (I was expecting a directory busy message). I then
did umount device (/dev/hd2) and mkdir [old directory], mount device,
to find that the device (/dev/hd2 !!!) was no longer a valid filesystem.
Sorry if this is old news, I've not been reading the newsgroup recently.
p.s. Running PC Minix V1.5.10
