You can't use BIOS Calls to MFS-Directories. You can't give the whole
partition to DOS without dismountig it from linux. You can't do
concurrent access from linux and dosemu BIOS Calls to the same partition
without data corruption.

Perhaps the MFS Redirector can access more than 2G?
Even if it  can, many DOS Programs can't cope with more than 2G data on
one partitionen.
