Sorry I can't help your problem, but I can say that I personally haven't had
any trouble filling up my 2090/ST251. In fact, I get a "disk full" message
at least once a week (hoping to get an 80MB drive 'soon'...I need it
desperately!). There's only one thing to watch out for. Some versions of the
fast file system have a bug that makes it impossible to recover from a
"disk full" condition (by deleting some files and clicking on 'retry'). If
you try to do that you'll be greeted by the Guru...
So perhaps it's a result of buggy/inadaquate host drivers or drive firmware
rather than AmigaDOS that is causing your serious problem.
