    I've recently installed CAP/AUFS here, and I'm experiencing a few problems.
I'm trying to work with unix TEXT files, and the results so far are not
pleasing...   If I start EDIT 2.0d1, and open one of the unix files, the file
server appears to send the information across, but after the transfer finishes,
EDIT shows no data.  EDIT can create new files, and they appear to be stored
correctly on the host, but shows an empty page when they are read back.
To complicate things, copying one of these files (either created by UNIX, or
by edit) with the finder, gets you the message:
        The file "file_name" couldn't be read and was skipped (unknown error).
and thus throws away the file.

   MacWrite/Word can read and update the files correctly, and while I can live
without EDIT, it would be nice to copy files using the finder...

   I'm running on a Mac II with 2Mb of memory, finder 6.0/system 4.2, talking
to AUFS on a Pyramid.

   Has anyone seen this before, have I overlooked something really simple, and
(most importantly) can it be fixed?
