Bitcoin-QT issues with non standard filesystem
Ok so its finally up and working.

With v0.9.3.0-g40d2041-beta the core process definitely crashes on that volume. Now with version : 110200 it appears as if its crashed, but doesn't. Setting the write catch to 512MB may have had an impact here.

Note the delay of 52 minutes for a console command to return a response. This probably indicates bad threading that an IO process can block the interactive terminal. Eventually though block processing does resume and it caught up 16GB worth of data.

I might look into it further so I can log a bug report.
