Thanks for responding, Dennis. ATA/disk fs. 
I've loaded a different IOS and it is appending files to 
the disk as expected (same disk/router):

Just noticed this, the clock (via NTP) is correct but files have the 
wrong date, I wrote #3 & #4 tonight:

In the lab, on the same hardware (7206xvr NPE300), 123-4.T7
writes to disk (ATA) as expected:
