Reading shapefile from FAT-formatted keydrive on OSX · Issue #252 · r-spatial/sf (original) (raw)

These threads 1 and 2 show odd behaviour when reading shapefiles from FAT-formatted keydrives on OSX with CRAN sfr and rgdal binaries. I'll ask the affected people to join in here with more details, for now:
