Erik, thanks for the info. I took a look at the mtools and while it's cool, I was looking for a lower-level solution. The problem is when the disk is read in linux, it uses it's cached version rather than the updated new version. Is there a way in the kernel to clear out this cache? (some dentry or inode code?)
