No problem. There's no EAs to save/restore in this case.

Bad assumption. Keep in mind dfsee is cross-platform. Jan is smart
enough to design the file formats to be cross-platform.

No, the EAs will be discarded. The file system (technically the IFS)
determines if EAs are supported.

Sure. If that didn't happen how could it get a drive letter?

The CD-ROM was L because L was the next available drive letter. Your hard
drives go from C through K. Most of us use

RESERVEDRIVELETTER=x

to force the removable drives to have a fixed location. In my case, I
use:

RESERVEDRIVELETTER=R

to force the CD-ROMs to start at drive S.
