I'm actually quite surprised that you managed to write anything at umsdos
filesystem. I have barely touched that part yet.

PLEASE read /usr/src/linux/fs/umsdos/README-WIP.txt

It is clearly stated there that any attempt to write anything will most
surely lead to filesystem corruption. I have barely succeed to make that
part of code COMPILE. To make it at least partially working is completely
other story.
