I have to gently disagree guys, as its papering over a bug in rbf.mn. I'm 
no longer able to help, but in the long run this bug should be found and 
squashed.  The dcheck check should advise the user of the problem since 
this is an admittedly rare case.  With 2 hard drives, one dual formatted 
and running a cluster size of 4, and one fully os9 formatted running a 
cluster size of 16, both one GB drives with now very long grey hair, 
this is not something I have ever encountered.
