Checking the filesystem on Windows runs without any complains, but it turns the
directory into an useless lump of data. Without checking the filesystem,
creating and reading files from that directory works just fine.

I tried to use gzip or xz to compress the very sparse filesystem image that I
got, but they made it larger on disk than it really was. So here is a script
and pieces of the filesystem that will create a sparse 8GB image.

Thank you for looking into this.
